You can use it as a basting thread or hem things in those colors. I mostly throw it away. I used to stash it in its own bag with thread nr but I never used it. The thread is so cheap in view to all the work you put in a piece of lace that I consider it a waste to keep it. But there are always different opinions. And even if there are a lot of thread on one bobbin you have to roll it on to two if you don�t make lace where you start with a knot, and then the thread is sooo much shorter (found out the hard way with a lot of work winding new bobbins!) on two bobbins. Depending on what kind of lace you are making I was taught to measure the lace, take that measure three times and add for the piece of thread from the pins to the pillows apron so you will have a bit of extra, and I have found out that the thread is "longer" than it seems to be when you are coming to the end of the lace, even if it looks like it won�t last it always has :-) Just my point of view, I guess you will have more suggestions, Yours Ann-Marie, Sweden http://community.webshots.com/user/annma1 > > I have a question which has been bugging me for a long time... > Whenever I do a lace project, I end up with lots of thread left on the > bobbins.
