I don't know about the rest of you - but - there are a few times (hehehe) that I have a rip out a seam. Then I'm left with all those little threads that need to be picked out. The easiest and fastest way that I use is to take a piece of masking tape and press it down over the threads. Then, when I pull the tape up most of the threads come with it. Sometimes, because of the many threads, I may do this two or three times - but - it is still faster than me trying to pick them out.

lint rollers work great too, the type with masking tape on a cylinder. I also use it one my ironing board and fabric as kitty likes to be near and its just easier than constantly chasing her away.

Very true, I've been using the same method for years

Thank goodness someone has found a way to do this! I've been using tweezers for years, and "Arthur" is telling me I can use them anymore.

Mary, this idea sounds so simple. what a time saver this will be. Another great use for tape in the sewing room--as indespensible as needles and tread.
