do you toss your thread clippings on the floor?

The threads land there, and on me. I always attempt to throw them in the bucket I have sitting right next to me.
It's scary when a long, dark thread shows up in my bathroom. "What the heck is that?" or a snarled up bunch of black thread, "Smack it with the fly swatter in case it's a spider." Funny about the latter, they jump when you smack 'em!

or when I used to have hair past my waist, and it always ended up snarled up in amongst the laundry, and when folding clothes a snarled up bunch of hair would always scare me... heh

I hate cleaning up the floor so I use clean empty margarine, cottage cheese, etc. type plastic containers of varying sizes as convienent trash cans. I keep one on my sewing table, cutting tables, and ironing table. When they are full, I dump them into a larger waste basket lined with a plastic bag. When that is full, it goes to the outdoor waste bin. I am pretty fussy about not making extra work for myself. :)

I pin a piece of batting (mine is about 6 x 8) on my shirt and everytime I cut a thread I slap it on and it sticks like glue! When I am done I grab the thread off it and throw it all away at once. My DH loves seeing threads on me because he knows I had a good day! ":)

I have a little thing hanging off sewing machine and put clipped threads in there. If I'm using a machine where I don't have that, I just put them in a pile next to to the machine. I don't ever throw them on the floor, my cats would eat them!
