That is such a great idea. Now I need to remember to pick one up when I go to town.

I think it's much easier than trying to get all those threads off the vacuum cleaner roller. On to the dollar tree.

I love this Ideal I have used it for about 10 years even on tile it works.

Great idea, but since I use a lint roller and it works really well, I will stick with it. Especially now that they make them with a long handle.

What a great idea!!!
I have a thread tip to add to this thread. When I have to pic out bad stitches (frog stitching...rip it rip it) I keep a foot emery board in my sewing room. Just take that and run it over the stitch line and it pulls the loose threads right out. Looks like this....I buy mine at the dollar store. http://www.amazon.com/BelleSha-5-pac...ot+emery+board

Thanks for the tip. I am willing to try anything to get rid of those pesky little threads.
Wonder how she came up with this---lol

Hi, this Ayr is quite small too. We moved here recently and it has been a huge change from living in Toronto.

This is a very good idea. Thank you for sharing! I am always looking for easy ways to clean up!!

Thread Duster
 
Recently at the LQS, there was a new tool at checkout. One end is a seam ripper and the other is a round ribbed ball which acts as an eraser. Remembered to use it today and it works like an eraser. Easy and worked great.

Next time I rip, I plan to use a regular white eraser (not on a pencil top) and see if it works as well. Might even try a pencil eraser but am concerned about color residue on the fabric.
