    Default My thread catcher
    Went to a quilt retreat and saw several quilters using these awesome thread catchers in different shapes and sizes. They seemed super practical even to gather miscellaneous sewing notions.

    Found a free pattern online and this is my thread catcher. I love that it does not take up working space.

    Looks great! My cousin keeps one in her retreat kit and at both of her other machines.

    I presume that the wee cushion thing is weighted somehow ?
    Neat idea I admit I just use a wooden bowl to gather the threads.

    Yes I used rice as that's what I had handy and bit of polyester stuffing so it serves as a pin cushion as well.

    I use the padded part as a pin cousin, right next to my machine. Very handy,
