My threads are everywhere! On the carpet, on my clothes, everywhere but in the pin cushion/thread bag. That seems to catch my pins instead!

I have two trash cans in my sewing room and two thread cathchers but still end up having thread and fabric scraps on the floor and me. And yes, I have gone to the grocery store, drug store, Hancock's, Hobby Lobby, the Quilt Shop, church and various other places with thread stuck to my clothers. I keep one of the sticky lint rollers in my sewing room and occasionally run it over my carpet and use a swiffer to pick them up off the hardwood floor areas.

I have a can that I try to put my clippings in. Than when I have time I sandwich them in between 2 layers of water solvey & embroidery a designs on top to make a xmas ornament. I will try to make one & post a picture.

keep them in a special place such as the basket or bag on the edge of the table. Have kitties and dog and don't want them to get a hold of any and eat them.

Really have to watch it when sewing and then leave the house. Many times I will be wearing at least some of the threads.

I use a piece of Warm and Natural about 5x5 sitting along side my machine for clippings...catches most of them. I also have a long handled roller which I can use on the floor when I am done sewing which works like the kind you use on your clothes to take lint off. Works good on carpet too before you use the vacuum.

LOL LOL LOL :D :D :D :D :D

Please do! I love re-use projects! :-D :-D

Did you make it? Tell us where you got the pattern! And is it posted? If so, give us the link. If not, take a picture and post it!

I had never heard of a thread catcher before joining this board, now I see a few patterns or threads about making them here and there. I see how one could be very handy. I do a lot of handwork and usually pile my threads in the corner of the tray that I use to hold all my supplies. They always seem to be such a problem!

Please post it and send me a PM so I catch the post! :D :D
