You buy yourself a reel of soluble thread and stitch the pieces together so you can use them again and of course the thread will dissolve too.
Hope this helps, hnr, M

If they r real tiny pieces u can keep them dissolved n a jar of water & use that to stiffen something else. Meg gave u a good answer. I read somewhere that u could put n a paper bag & fuse together with a warm iron, but I haven't tried this so don't know if it works or not. *4U

Lbrow that was me...You make a pencil marking of you hoop size on one side of the brown paper...then fill the area with the scraps. Cover with the other side and IRON with a med hot iron NO STEAM.
Thankyou to both of you for your answers..hmm very interesting...
I knew I had read that somewhere but couldn't remember if it was here or not. thanks bl

I use some of the small pieces to place on top without hooping, example towels. My machine will do a fix stitch around the design. So I place it on the fabric, press the fix and it holds it in place while doing the design. that way you don't have to hoop a large piece on top.

I use it under material so the feed dogs will grab hold when I'm stitching something really tiny... like a rolled hem, etc.

Think you have good answers already. It is good to save small pieces as someone already said, dissolve them, and spray to stiffen fsl (after the initial dipping)or anything else.

buy thread that dissoves with water. Sew the pieces together. No.2: Place pieces between two pieces of brown wrapping paper, iron with hot iron, NO steam. No.3: Use a wet sponge, stick pieces together, one at a time, run sponge over it. Let dry.
