SBQ: Thread Clippings
I’m an avid reader of Stitching Blogger’s Questions, but I think this is the first time I’ve answered one. This week, the question is:
What do you do to your thread clippings? Do you just scrap them or do you use them in something else?
Well, for me it depends on the length of the clipping. If it’s shorter than is usable — i.e. I can get less than three stitches out of it — then I bin it. If it’s longer than that, I wind it around the original thread so that I know what colour it is (i.e. a short piece of DMC 666 ["Christmas Red", to you non-stitchers out there] will get wrapped around the remainder of the thread skein) and store it until I come to use it. I tend to do this with every colour possible, except DMC 310 (black), which I always keep no matter the length — black is always, always useful. :-)
