All you do is roll over the cutting table or where you have thread you want picked up and it clings to it. I even use it to pick up small pieces of material .Once the roller is full- wash it in cold water and all the threads come off .Let the roller dry and you are good to use it again . Best thing i found so far that works and is cheap to buy.
I use the tape kind and throw the tape away. Be careful washing all those threads down your drain; you could end up with a plumbing problem.
