Do you clip and toss and clean later, or do you have a place for the clippings and put them in their place?

Do the thread catchers that hang on the side of the table attached to a pin cushion help to corral the clippings?

What do you do with all those clippings over time? Toss or use in another way?
We have cats so we automatically make sure all thread clippings are put in the waste basket as they are cut off. Our friends had a cat that got very sick so they took it to the vet where they did xrays and found that the cat had a piece of thread wrapped his intestine.....couldn't be saved.
