Yes, but I feel very official when I go fabric shopping or to a quilting meeting. :thumbup:

Worse than thread are those little dog ears. They stick to your socks and then you find them in every single room in the house and on your pants! Adds color to your carpet!

I went to my evening quilting group,and i noticed the woman hadn't vaccuumed. Then i realized all the lint was coming off my slippers.
We laughed on our hands and knees picking all the threads off her carpet.

Yes, and it's just a part of my normal grooming! :D

Threads are part of the territory. However,what really cathces them, is a scrap of batting on your lap, in front of or right next to the sewing machine, or even just perched on your bosom. It acts asa thread magnet.

Wish I had thought of that a long time ago. Wearing shirt inside out is a great idea.

I don't even check anymore. People who see me expect threads!! Hee, hee

I can think of worse things to find on me and have--fabric dryer sheets for one.

No dog or cat hairs, just the annoying stray threads ! :)
