Threads seem to attach themselves to me while I sew and snip. But the scraps of fabric and what threads I catch go into a recycled plastic coffee can which is next to my ironing board next to my cutting table. Other pieces while I sew go into the waste can that is next to the sewing table. At the end of the day (or when I'm done for the day) everything gets put up and away even if I'll be quilting the next day.
Yes, I've been told I'm over organized. ;)
