    Default Fuzzy Sock Thread Catcher

    I shared this on the Facebook Quiltville group and thought as long as I had the picture I would share here. This has turned out to be my favorite thread catcher. It's just a fuzzy sock pulled over and into a plastic cup. [ATTACH=CONFIG]523247[/ATTACH]

    I use a grocery bag tied to the back of my chair. When it's full I just throw the whole thing away. Yours looks better and is much cuter. Fun idea. BrendaK

    Gee, might be a good idea to wrap the sock around something and see if it will pull the lint off the quilt!! Thanks for the great idea!

    waves at Kitsie, hi neighbor!

    Brilliant idea. I just pitched one of the traditional kind with the tile and pin holder and bag. They are just too darn big.
