That really put a dampener to my quilting. I am eager to start quilting, but I need to get a way to either cover the floor (with what?), or get a vacuum cleaner stronger enough to suck the tiny threads out of the loops.
What do you advise? Thanks!
You can buy mats for use in garages and barns. Some can be hooked together. Could you use a couple of them in a corner or out of the way place to make your sewing corner? Not an ideal solution, but might be workable.
AND, have you asked your landlord about replacing at least one room's carpet? Sure not what I'd lay down for renters!
