several months ago, wonderful Charlee gifted me a scrap catcher.

well, i'm both lazy and a bit ... errr ... ummm ... clumsy. if i empty the catch-bag before i go to the trash can, most of it lands on the floor along the path. if i take the whole thing to the trash can, half my pins and needles get tossed by accident.

again ... let me stress ... the problem is not with the catcher. it's with me. :lol:

soooooo ... i stuck a plastic dollar store beverage "glass" in the catch-bag. it slips right out for trips to the trash. :-)

Great idea, thanks.

neato, just don't throw them away, you can stuff them into a piece of 'unloved' fabric, an old shirt, just about anything, stitch it up and you have a purrrfect pet pillow.

Not thought about that problem. This afternoon I was going to sit down and make myself one of these...... thinks will attach the 'attachment' with velcro so that I can take only that to the recycling bin. Over here we can't put fabric in the trash.

very nice :)

Great idea! My threads stick to the fabric, but this would eliminate that problem.

I have a scrap catcher too, but it's also called the floor ;-)
