I am so with you! I hate the word "trash" referring to anything I pay for - even things that are free lol! I save scraps, (crumbs) no matter how small - lets face it they're small! take up no room and are easy to pick up/ store. I guess I dont scatter this stuff around where I sew; that make it nothing to pick up. I have a (Christmas present) popcorn can that holds a ton and you can pack them in and when you get it full use the crumb stuff anything.
