I have a little basket under my table on top of a big storage container that is convenient, but if I am in the middle of a sewing project, I won't focus too much on the thread scraps, and attempt to throw them in the basket, but won't worry to much about it until I am finished sewing. To me some scraps and thread on the floor is the mark of a sewer like flour on a cabinet is to a chef. lol.....
