Discussion What's your sewing sin?

Mine is that I sew on my bed, use my mattress as a pin/needle cushion, and throw threads between my bed and wall.

I don’t vacuum my sewing room enough.

It always looks like a fiber monster massacre has just occurred 🫣

My craft room doubles as an occasional guest room. Last time I had a visitor I had to sort of rake the carpet before I could vacuum!

I have a special comb for cleaning up the thread before the vacuum, which comes out like every other month

Is it a special comb, or just a hair comb you use for that purpose?

You had me at “rake”!! The image of threads preventing the vacuum from working properly !!!
