      I save mine in this little dish! Not sure why?…and what I may do with it? Maybe I’ll cast ‘em in clear epoxy?

            Mrs NickD tucks them back into the seam stitching for me.

            I like the idea of setting them in resin though.

              It’s just a fun reminder when you’re buying the shirt of how high quality it is; even in the details nobody will ever see. I wouldn’t over think it too much. As some have mentioned, the shirt is stitched so that you can cut them off, which a lot of folks do. You don’t see many used ones for sale with the run off attached.

                @Aetas I can’t help thinking that the plait looks like a giraffe (I think it’s the orientation /continuity with the triple stitching on the seam). I very much doubt chain stitch runoff sculpture will become a thing!

                  I twirl mine around my fingers (like girls in the 90's twirled their bangs) and make solid eye contact with my wife when I'm trying to get her attention.

                    @jordanscollected That gives me a great idea. I might start having the wife hold my chainstitch runoff instead of my out-turned pocket while we are walking in public. “Hold my chainstitch!” 😆

                            The professional seamstress that I work with is always telling me she hates the run off. "I want to cut it off every time"! 😂😭

                                  I think I may have weighed in with these but I’m a couple beers in on a flight:
                                  Love em on shirts but don’t miss em

                                  I’ve been asked if they were Jewish orthodox tassels (I think the term is tzitzit?), so they stay. That kind of confusion just brightens my day 🤣

                                  Overlock stitch runoff on cut and sewn is annoying and gets cut

                                  Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

                                  Think it, be it.

                                    Correct

                                    I have a sort of bris ceremony whenever I receive a shirt with them - its officially part of my routine

                                      See? No harm whatsoever, ya just cut em if ya don’t want em. If only more preferences were this easy to deal with.
