I don't save the smaller scraps. Probably anything less than 12"x36 goes. I have too many scraps. I sew up a bag that is next to my machine for a pet bed. When the bag is full I sew it shut and a pet bed is finished. I have too many fabric scraps and have been throwing out more of those too. I have 5 pet beds ready to deliver right now. I figure at least I'm not wasting these things.
