I know a woman who saves her thread. When she has a jar full, she places the threads inbetween to thin layers of water solviable plastic and then sews randome stitches, with various colors of thread until the pieces are sewen together. Then she rinses off the solivable stuff and ends up with a new type of lace background. Then she uses her embroidery feature and makes an embellishment with this thread/fabric as her base.
Each to their own.

I save some threads, but they have some length to them. When I change thread color I first CUT the top thread where it first goes in in threading then pull it forward. That will helps to cut down fuzz. What I have cut is around 12 inches, then I wrap it around index finger & thumb & put it in a jar (decorator etc.) a clear one. It makes an interesting display.
