I try to keep a small trash can close by and I aim at it but there are lots of misses!
|
I have a pin cushion with a thread catcher and I have a pad under my machine with a catcher. I find they work very well.
|
What works great is an empty large plastic coffee can ...save the lid and you can put it on at the end of the day to prevent a pet getting in or it being knocked over

I use a thread catcher. When full, I put out for the birds.
|
I try to hit the waste can, but frequently miss. It really drives my wife crazy.
|
It's gravity....you can't beat it! I've also learned not to wear black when sewing.
|
I try to keep my contained as much as possible. I collect them until the spring and then toss them into the back yard. I birds will come take them threads to add to their nests. It's such a joy to see my threads resting under a bunch of baby birds....

I have a trash can on both sides of my sewing center. I aim for one or the other, but often hit the floor! My quilt dog sometimes gathers them for me by dragging his sleeping bag across the floor.
