What I learned today
#1
If you keep a basket next to your machine to put all of your colorful thread scraps in and put it outside in the springtime, the birds will use the thread to make to make some very pretty coloful nests. I can't wait until spring!!!

Make sure that the thread isn't filament that can cut the delicate skin of the new hatched babies. I also save hair from my hairbrush.
I oncce saw a very frustrated song sparrow try to get horsehair fron a very un-cooperative horse -- it was so funny -- she was tugging on his mane and he kept shaking her away

Make sure the thread scraps are small enough that the birds or other animals won't get them wrapped around a leg or a wing! ;)
If anyone ever sees one of these colorful nests, take a picture!!
