Gypsy Quilter Bitty Buddy (TGQ007)

GREAT love it! Is perfect for all my sewing and craft projects.

I absolutely love this pretty purple "bucket" for my thread clippings! I have it attached to a drawer handle by my sewing machine. I will be ordering a second one to go by my serger. It is so easy to drop thread clippings into this as I go and so easy to empty. Wonderful invention!

Good easy carrying

I use these as small trash containers in my sewing studio. I have hung them on small hooks by my sewing machines, by my quilter, and one is in my travel case so when I travel with my seeing machine, the container goes with me. Now when I need a trash collector near by, I have one. I absolutely love them.

I originally purchased the Bitty Buddy to hang from the side of my longarm shell using a Command hook. The idea was to put snipped threads in it and eliminate the inconvenience of running back and forth to the waste bin or having threads lying everywhere.Well, long story short, the Bitty Buddy never made it to the longarm room.In fact, it has found its permanent home in my domestic sewing room. It's small size makes it a space saver. Its lightweight construction makes it easier to move from the cutting area to the domestic sewing machine than a small waste bin. I toss everything in it from fabric scraps to loose threads. And when I'm done for the day I just tip it upside down and everything slides right out into the trash because of the slick material it's made of, making cleanup a breeze.I love the Bitty Buddy so much I'm going to buy a second one just for the longarm room like I originally planned. I would recommend this to any crafter in a heartbeat!

I love the Royal Purple color. The design is functional without need for instructions. Just slide the elastic off and the can pops up. Love it. I even bought one for my bead buddy!

This container springs up to full size when the elastic is removed from the collapsed bin - like magic! It is quite large, will hold tons of snips of thread and scraps of fabric or paper, etc. Very handy for my sewing projects - keeps the little pieces of thread or material inside, rather than strewn about as I sew (and later need to clean them up from wherever they have fallen.) The elastic was already coming unsewn from the top when I got it so I will need to repair that. This bin is not a necessity, other solutions work for handling bits of thread, etc, without spending any $. But it is a fun bin to have on hand. :)

Great to have for quilters when you go on a retreat. You have someplace to put your scraps of material and threads in close by you. When it's full you empty and when you're done using it you just collapse it and it flattens out nicely and fits in with your other quilting items.
