I rarely use the thread cutter on my machine, either, I use my little embroidery scissors that never leave my side. When I first start a project in my nice clean sewing space (yes I clean it after EVERY project!) I put all those threads right into the wastebasket. By the end of the project - when I just want to finish it already - I drop them on the floor with abandon. It feels so good to get out my little Dust Devil and suck them all up when I'm done, I almost enjoy that part, I'm a little weird that way! ;) Good luck with your resolution!

I got poked once too often. Now they are on a convenient hook beside the sewing machine but also in reach of the serger. I try to put them back there whenever I use them and mostly it's working out really well. I also love my wrist pincushion and my thread catchers at the sewing machine and serger. So convenient for bits and snips and thread ends. Why didn't I make these simple items years ago I ask you?Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685532773952211627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222007135907343863.post-8783727710949564612012-07-26T21:37:22.552-07:002012-07-26T21:37:22.552-07:00I actually put hand sewing needles in my mouth!

Always on hand instead of hiding under scraps.
