    Great tip- I have another one that can't be lost- I rub my shoe across the rug and it balls up the thread

    Thanks for the tip, I am going to look for some. The sticky rollers fill up too fast. Thanks for sharing.

    i bought one at a yard sale and it had the little one which I keep in my purse. I love these and I used the big one a little while ago before I did a little quilting as the threads and some fuzz was on the quilt so I used it and then rinsed it and it didn't take long for it to dry. I was able to use it again soon after that. I think they are great. Huggies, Fay

    You can find the big sponges in the aisle where the car polish is in Dollar General. It works great.

All you do is roll over the cutting table or where you have thread you want picked up and it clings to it. I even use it to pick up small pieces of material .Once the roller is full- wash it in cold water and all the threads come off .Let the roller dry and you are good to use it again . Best thing i found so far that works and is cheap to buy.
    had some loved them what dollar store. love your avatar as im a hummingbird fan. have them all over my home.
