Cool -- I was about to try a ball of duct tape, but this sounds easier!

I wrapped and old spongemop with wide packing tape inside out which works great! I bet you could fit an old dryer sheet into a swifter which would also work.

Neat (cool/sweet) & neat (clean/tidy) both! Could you wrap it around a lint roller, attach to something like a painting pole (no bending) and roll up the thread? There are two swiffer products, one is the traditional/duster/wet mop that I cannot live without (green stick and pad) and the other ("orange"CarpetFlick) is for picking up crumbs, dirt & leaves, in other words, lots of texture. It uses a replaceable sticky cartridge. I think the green one rotates to much to be effective & thread is not "textured" enough for the "orange" one to work that well - if thread were sequins it would be great!

An addendum to my original comment - the Swiffer CarpetFlick does pick up threads when used properly - big DUH for me!

I have two Golden Retrievers that like to sleep in my sewing room - thanks for the tip!

Great tip. Who of us doesn't have thread crumbs on the carpet in our sewing rooms? I'll use this tip often.
