I try to vacumn and put everything back where it belongs after every project is finished and out the door. Sometimes it gets done, sometimes it gets over looked as I'll have 3-4 projects going at one time. I do vacumn around my cutting table and ironing board when I go to attach the binding onto the quilt so I don't add to the loose threads already on the quilt. Hate picking threads off while I'm hand sewing the binding on while watching TV at night.
