Several ladies in my quilt group just start making small pillows to stuff - leaving one side open , taping the open edge to their sewing table edge. When it gets filled up with threads, fabric and batting scraps they sew the last side closed and use it for small animal pillows. Cats love them. The shelters love them, and all it cost was the larger scrap to do the pillow square. Makes a great gift for that animal lover in your famly's pet. It's a race at retreats to get the messes cleaned up cause everyone wants to fill up their kitty bags.

I use plastic coffee cans; maybe I'll make a cover for them one day when I have nothing else to do. Sure would class up the place.

And I used the "mini" shop vac.

I love the idea of your thread catcher. To all of you who actually hit the thread catcher with your snippets (mine always static cling to me or the table or whatever, and eventually land on the carpet for the vacuum)

What do you do with the hundreds of snippets of thread?

Especially in the spring I throw mine out on the lawn or at one of the bushes. The birds LOVE them. Within an hour every last piece is gone.

I've been on walks and seen my horribly bright pink thread in bird nests 10 or 11 blocks away from my home.

Just a thought,

I have a small pail filled with purple and white thread clippings. I can't wait to see the "designer nests" around.

What did you use inside the upper part to keep it open. I used aquarium tubing inside mine, but now it has come apart and doesn't stay open like I would like it to?

I have a medium size wastecan lined with a large plastic bag in it, it works great, when 3/4 way full I throw it away. Seems I'm the oddball here.

Your bag is very cute.
