That's what I do!!!

Me too!!! I have a trash can about 2 feet from my sewing machine, and if I make it in, great......if not, I have a very handy broom that I use at the end of the day. Works!!

Have you noticed the advertising that is at the bottom of each page when we post? The one that I just saw on this post was for dumpster rental!! I would hope that nobody has THAT many scraps while sewing!!

I use a small shopping bag like you get at Yankee Candle or from a 'fine' department store when you buy something small at the cosmetic counter. They have flat bottoms so they stand on the floor by themselves and they make me feel 'elegant'- cause I usually don't shop at those kind of places very often.

Hi and welcome! I've done everything from Elanor burns method to paper bags, or plastic bags, taped on the table, to toss-in-in-the-general-direction, to coffee cans on the table. I think it's probably what works for you. I usually clean up after a project is finished, but sometimes it has to be sooner...too much mess otherwise!

Thank you for the great welcome and all the ideas for thread collectors. I do like the idea of the coffee filters and I am going to try one or two of the web sites. Thanks again.

i use a large lunch sack, fold the top down about an inch on all four sides
then tape it either on the left or the right side of where you sit at your machine. when done sewing for the day just empty it or throw it out. i just empty it and put it back on for the next time.

You mean you are supposed to put them IN something? Heck, mine goes on the floor. Much, MUCH easier. Then the vacuum works great at picking them up. No bending over! :)

had a real problem with throwing scraps and threads on floor. all that mess wrapped around the wheels of my chair and ruined the chair now it wont roll across the floor anymore.
