I never know

I never know when to vacuum my sewing room. In fact, I never know WHY I'm
vacuuming my sewing room. I've only been quilting a few years - so - can
you veterans please help me out with this?

We're supposed to vacuum it?

But...but...all the threads and snips and bits of fabric are layered so high,
that my carpet will be spotless when I finally vacuum it...when we sell the
house!

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once

I vacuum when it looks like the room needs to be raked up first, like the
backyard after all my neighbor's trees have lost leaves and it's too deep in
leaves back there to walk safely.
Think safety. If it's not knee high in there, it's not time yet.

Also my exact immediate response! I do have a worn out old window squeegee
with a long handle, a strip of magnetic tape slipped into the slot where the
rubber used to be. When my pin plate gets low I sort of sweep that around
through the debris and pick out pins until the plate gets full again, it's
not like I need ALL those laying around on the floor LOL
Geeeeeeeeeeeeeze, vacuum the sewing room floor, what a concept.......I need
to get a cool cloth and recline somewhere with chocolate and a trashy bodice
ripper novel until I can get this visual out of my mind!

Welp selling the house is not a good reason because we're renting. Looks
like I'm off the hook so far!

hmmm........ knee high bits and snips sounds very safe to me - in case I
fall down. Still off the hook!

I quilt basting on the floor as of this year. No small children. No
doggies. Off the hook!

Just before you lay a quilt out on it to baste, or when you start loosing
small children and furry doggies in it.
