Remove Extra Thread or Dust & Cutting Machine Threads

We would like to know what are techniques to cut the front and back thread of embroidery done by a Multi Head Machine.
Also, we would like suggestions for how to remove cut threads that again stick on fabrics. Do you use a vacuum or blower or any other machine?
Amy's Answer As far as I know, you trim the machine threads close to the fabric. You can use a drop of seam sealant such as Dritz Seam Sealant-.5 Ounce if you are concerned about the threads becoming unraveled. A lint roller such as those used to remove dog hair from clothing is useful in the sewing room. I don't do a lot of machine sewing, so my regular vacuum catches anything on the floor. Does anyone else use a special Dustbuster hand vacuum or some other technique?
