I have two trash cans in my sewing room and two thread cathchers but still end up having thread and fabric scraps on the floor and me. And yes, I have gone to the grocery store, drug store, Hancock's, Hobby Lobby, the Quilt Shop, church and various other places with thread stuck to my clothers. I keep one of the sticky lint rollers in my sewing room and occasionally run it over my carpet and use a swiffer to pick them up off the hardwood floor areas.
