DIY: Lint Roller Repurposed into a Thread Catcher

When asked “What’s your best time-saving tip for sewing?”  I often say “a lint roller repurposed into a thread catcher”.

Here’s how I do it:

a)   I start with a lint roller.  Yes, the one that costs less than $3.00.

b)  Cut the sheets lengthwise to remove from the roller.

c)  Put on or near your machine
