I too come from a small town, and many times I have had thread picked off my shoulder. I tend to snip threads, and if I am not standing close to a waste can, I place them on my left shoulder. People often refer to my "corsage". Our older grandson left for the Marines at the end of February and he has wrote back wanting pictures of everyone back home. The other evening our granddaughter (his sister) ran by so we had her snap a picture of Papa and I to send to him. Sure enough there was Papa, our dog, me and "my corsage" in the picture. That's o.k - grandson probably would not know me without the threads.

Needed to edit just to answer your question. I usually wear a t shirt when quilting or sewing. When sewing at the domestic machines I have a thread catcher that I drop the threads into. When at the quilting machine I place them on my shoulder and try to remember to remove them when I leave the studio.
