I have paper backs wide open all around my quilting area. Right now I'm making a map of the world (do you realize how many stupid little islands there are? Especially in the far north!) and my floor is littered with little paper scraps and threads, and tiny fabric pieces.... just try holding an island in your hands and putting the baking paper in the bag! There ARE some in the paper bags, but.... My husband grabbed a broom yesterday and swept my quilt room floor! I think he's afraid I'll try to vacume it up and mess up the brush attachments (again).
