Thread-free
     Released October 29, 2009

By  Jaci Speed I like to snip and clean all the threads on the back of my embroidery. I use sharp scissors and trim as many as I can, then I use a sticky roll (of tape, similar to a lint roller) and run it over the piece to pick up any strays. The ’sticky roll’ also will pick up stray thread on the floor. When the roll is filled with thread, just tear off that sheet and a new one is ready.

  1. I also use some masking tape from my hubby work shop, works real well plus cheaper.

  2. I also, do that. You may like to try using water stablizer over small stitches ,this way you can trim neatly over the stitches without the fuzz. I also use a electric trimmer when I make a mistake.

  3. Excellent idea. I have a little pan and brush and brush off the little pieces, but I think your idea is much better. Cheers Shirley

  4. When doing applique, I always hoop stick stabilizer. After I trim each part, I use the left over pieces of the stabilizer to pick up the fuzzies and threads.

  5. Sandra, you mention that you use an electric trimmer when you make a mistake. Do you use it to take all the embroidery off the garment? Do you mean a man’s mustach trimmer or something like that. I’m trying to find something to take out mistakes without spending over $100.00 like they advertise for a remover on embroidery sites.
    Thanks for any help you can give.
