What do you do with your test stitching? I'm cleaning out my sewing area and have an ecclectic stack of embroidery on white muslin and no idea what to do with it. I'd hate to see it go to waste.

Make little goodie bags, and fill with tiny shampoos, soaps, etc. Great for women's shelters.

You got all the suggestions I was about to make: quilt, sample booklet, bags and totes, apply them to boxes. Hope you find a couple of projects that suit you.

most of the purses that I've shared, started with test stitching. I find that most testing comes out just fine. I like to test on denim or twill...then I build a purse around it!

I cut them out, mount them on some pretty paper and then onto cardstock and make cards out of them

I donated some to the physical therapy department at a hospital where they use them for crafts.
Also sewed some to the outside of a shopping tote.

I would suggest postcards or grocery bag. It is time for recycling and a coton grocery bag is great! I do my test on simple cotton or on denim and both get great on bags! Cheers

you could either make a quilt or quilt cover for the local nursing home or use it to make a cover for your sewing chair, or cover for your machine :)

Do not throw away for sure my dear. I am planning a quilt with mine. I am going to put sashing between the blocks to liven it up some too. *4U ><>

I use my adult looking test patterns to make lap quilts for nursing home patients that don't have anyone left in their lives. The kid stuff goes into quilts and are donated to our Children's Hospital. So please never throw them away, someone will appreciate them.

Heather, dear one, if you are not going to do one of these many things, please make sure your test stitching goes to another. HaHa. A flower for you.
