Does any one have ideas how to get all of the threads off when you get done with a project. It seems like for every one that you get rid of a dozen more show up.

If you mean loose threads a lint roller will work.

A lint roller is a great idea. Also, blue painter's tape works great. If you don't have that, you can use masking tape, but be sure to first tape it to your pant leg and pull off to remove most of the adhesive. This way you don't end up tugging threads loose that you don't want loose. If you don't have any of that, the sticky part of post-it-notes work also.

A quick run in the dryer with a static cling sheet works great and I don't have to do any work.

Is a static cling sheet the same thing as a dryer (fabric softener) sheet :?:

Some years ago I found a great clearance sale on dryer sheets called Cling Free. I bought several cases. They were for static clean and had no fabric softener in them. The Cling Free sheets have softener in them now.

I run mine through the dryer and that usually takes care of most of them. The rest I get with my lint roller.

I would use the anti static ones, but not regular dryer sheets.
Regular dryer sheets can leave stains on dry fabrics. It looks like an oil stain :wink:
