    Threads clean-up

    I use a lint roller to clean threads and shreds off my ironing board surface and cutting mats. Helps keep the 'lint-picking' down to a minimum when I'm finishing a quilt.

              I LOVE the lint roller for my ironing board and also use it to clean off threads and snippets from my fabric wastebasket/pincushion.

                I was sitting in the pub today realising I was picking threads off of OH's jumper. :roll:

                    I work in a school and wear a lot of black. My colleagues and students are always picking threads off my tops, and some have worked out that you can guess what I'm working on by the colour of the threads.

                    And then there are the 'migrating threads': Son came to see me for an hour, went back home, and the friend he shares a house with asked: 'How is your Mum, Andy?' When my son wanted to know how on earth he knew where he had been, his friend just pointed to some threads on his top.

                      I don't know what I'd do without my roller pet hair remover thingy...it lives very close to the ironing board. Just love that sticky tape!

                        I agree Karen. You know it is funny to watch TC investigating the tape and then the shock on his face when it sticks to his paw. Guess that is pay back for all the fur he leaves. Bobbi

                          I giggle at the sight of GiGi trying to remove the sticky ball of tape on her paw...yeah...mean, but as Bobbi says it is payback for all that fur...

                            I swear my boy cat saves up his fur until I am making my lunch for work, so he can casually stroll into the kitchen and *POOF* expels the fur so I can find some in my sandwich! You just know that he's smiling the secret cat smile and laughing at the human who's leaving him at home, alone with his boring mama.

                              How do cats do that - poof their hair?? I agree - they are definately laughing! But i got one up on my two felines and got a special brush that does wonders on taking out extra hair, and the bonus is that both guys love it. (Kind of pricey - it's a Furminator.) Now they get brushed regularly, they love it and I love less hair floating around and landing in unwanted spots.
