Do you have to check for threads hanging on your clothes before leaving the house?

The batting really does work. I made a piece that I use as an apron and catches the majority of them now. If that doesn't.. ha ha ha my winter fuzzy slippers do. They use to be black, but now are multi-colored. These are fresh washed also. So they are my sewing slippers. ha ha ha

Yesterday I was waiting in the doctor's office and picking threads off the bottom of my pants. I hadn't even sewn yesterday!

Cooks wear aprons, nurses wear cutsie tops, pharmacist wear white jackets, quilters wear threads. So........?

Yes, depending on what I am wearing, I sometimes wear an apron. The threads are on it and not me! I read that tip somewhere.
