This all come from the rollers on your chair?
Yup-5 wheels-keep in mind that I am at my machine(s) 10-12 hrs a day-5-7 days a week with my alterations business-my sewing room is in our basement-with all my "stuff". It's not a fancy room by any means but it is cozy-washer, dryer,lots of light, tv, computer-It's momma's escape work room
You need to hang on to those and add them and come up with a project! :-) If they can do something with dryer lint, you can certainly come up with something for chair wheel threads. Don't waste all that thread. You certainly do ALOT of sewing. I wish I could get half that time in. I do keep the little basket that hangs on my desk and another one on the floor. I still miss all the time.

If you capture it carefully (do not disturb the pattern)
between two sheets of plastic or glass, you will have a lovely modern art shaggy baby teddy bear to hang! A good reminder that your snippings were not in vain!! LOL

LOL-I captured it all in one clean sweep right off the table edge right into the waste bucket. I don't save thread clippings-I have so much thread here in spools,cones & bobbins that I will NEVER run out. =O)

Yes I do that every few months, it is a pain in the butt. But I am now saving my snips for projects and to stop my cats from eating them. Amazing what you learn at cute.

Now I am glad I don't have a chair with wheels. My daughter gave me a gadget that clips to the desk, contains a waste bag and a place for my coffee cup. The waste bag gets all my clippings to use in embroidery projects.

I tried the the bag on the table edge-it just got in my way-I have a 13 gallon bucket at the end of my work area-sometimes clippings land in it, sometimes not lol =O)
Do you ever get threads in your coffee? lol I bet I would :)
No, but I have to confess-I have tossed straight pins in my coffee before lol =O)

WOW...thats a lot of thread. Hope you're tearing it into smaller bunches and placing it in your yard in places that the birds will find it and use in their nest building I also do this with dryer lint....the birds seem to love it.
1 comment
I did do that for the birds in the past until they started making nests in the supports of our carport-I would see the thread,yarn and lint dangling down from the beginnings of their nests hanging down off the supports-(I did the dryer lint and our yarn clippings too).Sorry, I love the birds, but not nesting in my carport-where of course, my car is parked. I thought is was so cute one year and the baby birds hatched- until I saw the mess the poop makes of the beams-plus it can rot the wood and paint-not to mention the "pooping" in flight on my car.

Linda - I cannot believe that all of those threads were in the wheels of your chair. I have checked mine and found nothing!!! Don't know whether to feel guilty or not LOL!!! Sarah.

LOL-guess that makes me some sort of slob from the comments I am getting-oh well, so it goes. Actually Sarah-I think the reason I get so much caught up in them is because I have those foam interlocking blocks on my floor(it's concrete because it's a basement) and my floor mat only covers about a 4ft.square area in the center of my sewing area-I move my chair off the mat alot going back and forth from machine to machine and computer-these wheels cover alot of area in a days time LOL ~linda~
Going on and off the mat is so annoying. I had to get a larger mat to give me some relief.

I have had this many times in my sewing room! Thankfully not in my computer/office! I have a mat there though sew shouldn't have the thread here!

I don't have an "office"-so my computer is in my sewing area-I have my laptop and printer on a stand right next to my sewing table. I don't even use our desktop computer-which is in the family room(my husband keeps hounding me to try it out and learn to use it-we got a new IMac for x-mas-I am not interested in it at all at this point lol)

Took 4-H for a couple years and the lady teaching us became a millionaire when Anheuser-Busch brought their farm and land. They moved to a amazing home with a sunken living room with white carpet. She had a room set up for us to do sewing and crafts and insisted that we count every pin we used. As for thread we were not allowed to toss the clippings on the floor. She trained me so good that I still get down and pick up the little bits if I miss the trash.

Oh my - mine was not that ba, but bad enough. It is a wonder it would roll at all. DH complains that I track threads all over the house.

I do that every October when we come home from up north. That and change the smoke alarm battery.

Gasp! I dont have a chair next to my embroidery machine - its on a high table so I have to stand to watch it stitching so I can clip threads which go straight into a zippy bag pinned to the mat I sit the machine on coz I'm lazy (its a pain to pick threads out of the carpet heh)... but my office chair hrm, I brush my hair here, I'll bet I have a few hair balls in the wheels...maybe not tho since I tend to swivel rather than roll. lol sounds like a dance. :) xXx
