Use the "roll of sticky sheets" to pick out stitches when having used the handy-dandy seam ripper!
It does the trick, also anything else on finished block....

Yep - "lint roller". Couldn't think of name when posted....

This is what I use too. Mine is an actual fabric eraser for removing pencil lines but I use it for ridding seams of ripped thread.

The one best thing I like about it is it will last forever and nothing goes to a land fill.

I'm all for keeping things out of the land fill. My lint roller is washable. When it is full, take it to the sink and rinse off all the little threads. Sometimes a soft brush is needed. Then back to picking up more. No need to dry it. The fabric you are cleaning will dry the roller.

Are you talking about a lint roller?

Glad someone figured out what tipster is talking about. I thought it was contact paper. Thanks to the quilter that mentioned putting the roller under running water to clean the threaded lint from it. God bless you all and may He keep you and family save from harm's way.
