I made this to go beside my machine, all the little bits that I trim off, somehow ends up on the floor ! I covered a small tile with material and wadding and attached it to the bag with matching material, that is a pin cushion. The design came from embroidery library.
This is the first time I have tried freestyle quilting, not sure if I did it right, was reading instructions from my manual for the machine. I will keep practicing I think. thanks for looking

, Thanks Lillian for you comments ,it keeps the bits off the floor, it is amazing how the bits of cotton somehow ends up on the floor instead of the bin, then the vacume has a problem as the cottons stick to the carpet

Handy little critter and such a pretty color. I've never done any quilting so it it's great to me.

Absolutely beautiful Trish. I keep all my threads in a 1kg plastic honey pot. Of course the honey is all gone! I would love one of these too. Love Chris

Thankyou for your comments, I did always have a plastic bag beside me when I sew on the machine and embroidered by hand (something that my mother always had me do) but the cottons would always seem to end up on the floor, am hoping this will be better, and with the pincushion attached to it I don't keep dropping the pins either.

Looks too pretty to use. I keep my threads in a big glass jar. I just love looking at all the colours through the glass. You have done a fantastic job with your quilting

Oh I love the colors and design you have chosen. It is so pretty!...Here is the one I have. A friend made this for me. She is a non-machine embroiderer (can you believe? they do exist!)-lol-The only thing I wish she would have put the inside out of baby dry or some other vinyl or plastic. Easier to empty and no lint clings to it.

They are a great idea, tidies up the sewing area too, didn't think of lint clinging...... hmmm, I am making one for my eldest daughter at the moment ( she will take mine if I don't make her one) I will think about that for the lining. I like the idea of the two straps as well.
Thanks for showing me yours, I think everyone should have them !

Looks great! & your free-motion quilting is really good! Have you used it yet? The catch-all? I had thought about making one (I have a large & unwieldy trash container beside my machines currently) but wondered if the fabric would "hold" on to the bits of thread & waste fabric I put into it & make it hard to get cleaned out. Any thoughts?

I am using it at the moment, works great for me, Toogie made a comment ( a couple comments down) about the lint sticking and suggested using a plastic inside , if not maybe a small sandwich bag inside then when the catch-all is full just replace the sandwich bag !
I made one years ago in quilt club, Mine has a plastic food container inside and I just pull it out and dump into regular garbage can. Works great for all the trimmings
Great idea to use a plastic container inside... now I just have to put this on my to-do list!
