thread catcher
 

After I piece or quilt I'm often covered in threads and with sweater weather it's almost impossible to get them off. But a friend suggested I take a microfiber cloth and brush over my clothes--this works wonders!

Thanks for that information!

Great idea!

I created an old fashioned style apron to wear when quilting and longarming. For a pocket, I created 2 long interfaced rectangles one slightly larger than the other. Sewed the smaller to the larger on 3 sides. And sewed vertically every so often to create divisions in the pocket according to the size of the tools I want to keep in them. Then I stitched all around the larger one to anchor it to the skirt of my apron. No more threads all over my clothes and my tools are right where I need them.

I take a small piece of batting and pin it to my left lapel area. As threads are detached, just press them against the batting piece. Periodically, gather the threads into a bunch and discard. This has worked beautifully for me.

Haven't tried the microcloth, but it does work wonders on pet hair in the car.

I wear threads and cat hair proudly. I never leave home without a roll over but it doesn’t always do the trick!

This is something I could have used this morning with all the threads that gravitate to my black stocking. I am going to pull one out right now. Thanks for the great information.

Wear the sweater inside out, then switch to right side when needed. LOL My grandmother always wore a duster when cooking or sewing. She had a lot of pretty ones. The snaps make it so easy to take on and off. I have one in my sewing room and I put it on over my clothes and take it off when leaving. Amazon has them. Look for house coat dusters.

I have the same problem ... and it seems I'm always wearing a black sweater LOL. Thanks for all the tips.
