This fun cup-shaped thread catcher is perfect for throwing little bits of thread and scraps while sewing. Fun bonus: it is also great as a cozy for a drink – no more worries about a drippy ring next to your machine.

In this Make-it, Take-it series, Sue will provide everything you need to know to make a few items for yourself, as well as instructions to scale it up big enough for a fun guild project.​

About the Contributor

Sue has been sewing since she was four and quilting since she was 12. She loves to design and make modern quilts that are influenced by traditional designs. Her passion is teaching and inspiring others on their creative journey. Sue has taught at many quilt guilds and international festivals, as well as for Craftsy and Craftours throughout the world.

When asked why she loves teaching, Sue said, “The most fulfilling part of teaching classes is the ability to explain a method or technique so each student understands and is successful. It is not just the mechanics of how it is made, it is learning why things work and the basics of each step. I love to see how proud they are and say ‘I can’t believe I actually made this quilt!’”
