I use thread bunnies so I don't have loose threads everywhere. They also prevents the machine eating the fabric or leaving you with bunched up threads at the beginning of your sewing. I don't usually keep them, they just go into the fabric trash and get used for stuffing.

Bonnie Hunter refers to "leaders and enders" as scrap blocks you're making for a bonus quilt while working on other projects. Eventually you'll have made enough of the bonus blocks to make another quilt. She even shares a leader-ender block that everyone can work on together each year.

I'm a novice but I don't understand why the threads on the thread bunnies don't make a knot under the presser foot
@jennystrahley927
2 ай бұрын
@@Pam-tx5zd They don't knot because the machine just sews across the thread bunny and then the machine waits for the next fabric pieces to sew. The thread bunny serves the same purpose as when you might see people hold the ends of their thread together tightly behind the presser foot when they start to sew, and then doesn't waste the long pieces of thread. However, I have had little loops and knots sometimes when I'm starting a thread bunny, but I'd rather have that loop or knot on the thread bunny than on my fabric because then I'd have to pick it out and I don't like doing that lol. Try it, I've honestly been using this idea since I started sewing my own clothes and my Barbie doll clothes over 55 years ago. Whoa, imagine how many I'd have in a jar if I had saved them! 🤣

I call them thread catchers. 'Sanity saver' is another good name. I.love how they eliminate the nesting at the beginning of a row, and the aggravation in the bobbin area. Thread bunny does sound cuter. But, it never occurred to keep them to do something with them later. Maybe if I call them thread 🐇🐰🐇, I won't toss them?
