just got a shop-vac. so far Im liking it.

who vacuums? I just walk around in my socks and the threads stick to my feet! also the pins stick in my socks (ouch)

Oh, gosh, your supposed to "clean" the floor? grin, just kidding. My floor is tile so it just sweeps and wipes with a damp mop to get the threads.

I use the attachments on my machine to suck up the worst areas, then go over w/out them.

I have an inexpensive vacuum I use in the sewing room.- and really trying hard to put the threads and small pieces in a bag by the machine.

Me too. I have a dust mop that makes the thread cling. I run a magnetic wand over the floor first to pick up the pins.

Shop vac. I just got a new one that has a leaf blower on it. Hmmmmmm....haven't tried that yet.

Same here....several area/throw rugs but not in my sewing room

I don't have carpet in my sewing room which makes it a lot easier to vacuum up. I also use a swifter vacuum just to get the thread and lint up when in a hurry.

cement floor in basement, easy to sweep and an area rug just vac with our Orek
