I agree with some of the people that have posted I'm not really a scrap quilter but have enough that I could make a good size quilt with. I wouldn't save them if your not planing on making a scrap quilt-give them away or take them to a Auction. I try to change out my needle on my sewing machine every couple of months. I try to do research on some products before I guy them so I'm not wasting my money. I'm really big at asking questions if I don't know about something about quilting and observing others.
