Have a small spool of white thread in my hand. Bumped my coffee mug. Spool fell into coffee. Rinsed the spool but definately have to wash whatever I sew with coffee flavored thread. Did I mentioned this happened 4:00 AM? Luckily not a full spool. Lesson learned. Watch where I place that "required for sewing" cup of coffee! OH...I always have cream in my coffee.
