    This is not my original idea but I like it and thought I would pass it along because it is a clever idea for sewing rooms with carpeting.

    Purchase a toilet bowel cleaning brush and before you vacuum run this brush across the carpets to pick up the threads. This way these pesky little clippings will not get tangled up into the vacuum cleaners brushes. And we all know what a job it is to remove them.
