Leftovers
10 May 2006

Since I already posted today I bet you thought I had forgotten about the SBQ, didn’t you? ;) Well, I didn’t! I have one all ready to go and it is:

When you stitch from a kit and use the supplied floss do you have leftovers? If so, how much and what do you do with them? If not, do you usually have just enough or do you have to dig into your stash to finish?

I am pretty frugal when it comes to my floss and I don’t tend to waste much when I stitch. As a result, I honestly can’t think of a time when I didn’t have leftover floss from a kit. I usually don’t have enough floss left over to stitch the chart a second time, but I typically have enough left that I could at least get a good start!

I have never really known exactly what I should do with the leftovers, but when I was new to stitching I added my leftover floss to the appropriate bobbin if I had one and just sort of incorporated it into my stash. However, now I usually just put the leftovers back into the package along with the chart: That way if I ever decide to trade I can send the leftovers to the lucky recipient.
