It really isn't anything new - just something that I do - when I get messy and want to pick up my threads that missed the clipping bag. Hehehe!

From Shirlene: Have you ever finished stitching out a lovely embroidery design and thought the whole time you were clipping your thread, putting them in the trash and they were going onto the floor? I have, and found that I can use a veggie scrubber to pick them up rather quickly - just brush it around and pull out the clippings and get them in the trash quick as a wink. Keep on stitching!

Shirlene I have no idea what a vege scrubber is. is it like a dish brush?
by shirlener88 13 Jan 2011
I little bit - but it is more of a plastic brush - rather than a brush brush. I will try to find one and take a picture and put it here - soon.

Congratulation dear Shirlene, I have look for the words "veggie scrubber" il the dictionary.
I have not found them. Scrubber seems to be a eraser, and veggie a vegetable ???
It is very interessant to know, because I have always much threads down on the carpet.

Claude, thank you dear - it is a brush - that has soft plastic bristles on it - that most people buy to clean their vegetables with - usually you can find it in the kitchen section of the store. *4U

What a lucky girl you are, more designs from the dollar list? It's fun to see ideas like yours cause you just never know when it is something new or you say, "Well dang, I have been doing that for years." LOL!

Claude & Terre and any others that might want to know - here is a picture of the veggie brush that I use - this is two of them - from the top and bottom - as you see the bristle are plastic and not like regular brushes - so the threads don't clump up in this one and make it hard to remove them - as in other brushes. I hope this helps.

I don't need an excuse - I buy them all the time - I even use them to clean spot on my clothes and also the carpet - I really like these little brushes. Thanks Kay!

I just knew when I gave away my plastic veg brushes because I wasn't so fond of them, I'd need them!! But I probably wouldn't have been able to find them anyway! Good hint!!

Really good tip. I have been using a sticky roller to get all my scrap "misses".
1 comment
by shirlener88 14 Jan 2011
Thanks - that works too - but the sticky goes away - with this veggie scrubber - you just clean it out and it is good for the next time, too. *4U
