oh my, yes, all of the time.

It's not as noticeable in the summer, but in the winter I have a lot of black and brown (slacks, skirts, jackets) and I have to really check them before I go out.

I've more than once sat in church and picked off a few threads...AFTER sitting down from singing.

Yes.. & some how they come out of the washer & dryer still attached to some things...bummer!

Yes, and so does my husband. My co-workers are getting used to it.

I wouldn't remember to do that. :oops:

LOL, me either, I'd go out, do all my errands and discover when I got home my top was inside out the whole time!

Oh! YOu mean thread wasn't your main accessory? My outfit wouldn't be complete without some.

i'm a clean as you go person, so i take the time to place all my threads in a neat pile or directly in the trash bin if one is near. i'm the same way with the kitchen. i just hate general cleaning.

My husband tells me "You're all strung out again!" Glad its just quilting I'm addicted to.

My family and friends are so used to the strings, they would think I quit sewing if I showed up stringless. My DH can tell how much sewing I have done by the amount of strings on me and the cats & dog.

most of the time I'm rushing out to pick up the kids from school and don't even check, often have threads on trousers, jumpers and coats....
