I bought my thread catcher at our quilt show a few years ago and couldn't be without it.

I either drop them in a waste basket under my sewing table or in the thread catcher on my table.

I aim for the trash can I have sitting by my machine but I miss it....most of the time. I pick up a handful everytime I sew.

We are all in good company - I aim for the trash can or pile them up - somehow they land on the flood.

No I do not toss them on the floor. I have an empty gallon jug that I cut the top open and put them in there. I use them in my projects later on with my needle felting machine with wool fibers to give an object some demension and extra color.

Kleenex box for me or a square piece of batting pinned to my blouse. The threads stick to it real well.

Oh goodness no way I only want to do something once especially if its cleaning so I make sure that all the little trimmings go right into the trash.

I have a trash can by my cutting table and also by my machine and ironing board. TRY hard to get them in there but sometimes miss. Hardwood floors do help not make a mess hard to clean if I do miss.
