ShiAnn reading your post made me smile. The ripping out part I laughed a little. I seem to do more UNSEWING as I call it, then I do sewing. Some how I keep sewing the wrong sides of the pieces together no matter how I mark them. HAHA. And that creates the tiny thread thing ;~)
I did read a tip for keeping the threads under control. By using a sheet from a lint bursh and folding under each end a little you can attatch it to you sewing table top. Try it it works great. Also I saw another tip for getting the little threads out of the fabric. By using either another lint brush page, or painters tape and patting your fabric where the cut stiches are it will pull them out, it is much faster then picking them out. Happy sewing yippie54
