I just finished my scrappy quilt and am finding thread strings every where including down stairs living room and kitchen.
Guess it is time to get out that awful vacumn cleaner that some man invented to torture women. Grinning

I've heard some people will use a NEW toilet bowl brush to get the larger threads off the carpeting before vacuuming. Helps keep the vacuum brush from getting too clogged up. Haven't tried it myself, though, I have vinyl flooring in the quilting studio.

I have a friend who uses a small plastic garden rake, just for raking up thread snips after sewing project frenzy ;-) I thought it was kind of silly until I saw how much she was able to rake up and it sure saved ALOT of wear & tear on her vacuum. So now I am looking for a small rake too. Not so easy to find. Maybe I can find one in toy store LOL
