It really isn't anything new - just something that I do - when I get messy and want to pick up my threads that missed the clipping bag. Hehehe!

Really good tip. I have been using a sticky roller to get all my scrap "misses".

Thanks - that works too - but the sticky goes away - with this veggie scrubber - you just clean it out and it is good for the next time, too. *4U

I just knew when I gave away my plastic veg brushes because I wasn't so fond of them, I'd need them!! But I probably wouldn't have been able to find them anyway! Good hint!!

I don't need an excuse - I buy them all the time - I even use them to clean spot on my clothes and also the carpet - I really like these little brushes. Thanks Kay!

Claude & Terre and any others that might want to know - here is a picture of the veggie brush that I use - this is two of them - from the top and bottom - as you see the bristle are plastic and not like regular brushes - so the threads don't clump up in this one and make it hard to remove them - as in other brushes. I hope this helps.

Congratulation dear Shirlene, I have look for the words "veggie scrubber" il the dictionary.
I have not found them. Scrubber seems to be a eraser, and veggie a vegetable ???
It is very interessant to know, because I have always much threads down on the carpet.

Claude, thank you dear - it is a brush - that has soft plastic bristles on it - that most people buy to clean their vegetables with - usually you can find it in the kitchen section of the store. *4U

From Shirlene: Have you ever finished stitching out a lovely embroidery design and thought the whole time you were clipping your thread, putting them in the trash and they were going onto the floor? I have, and found that I can use a veggie scrubber to pick them up rather quickly - just brush it around and pull out the clippings and get them in the trash quick as a wink. Keep on stitching!

Shirlene I have no idea what a vege scrubber is. is it like a dish brush?

shirlener88 by shirlener88 13 Jan 2011

I little bit - but it is more of a plastic brush - rather than a brush brush. I will try to find one and take a picture and put it here - soon.
