If not, how to you prevent the "char" from getting on lighter color thread? What is it you are making using the laser cutter for your patterns? Make complete bags, even cut belts. Its a 150W laser cutter with a 60x43" bed. I do sometimes use other threads, black mainly. My air assist helps get rid of soot in the holes for the most part. The first 2 inches of the thread a will get a little bit of soot but give yourself extra so you don't get into that. With cloth interiors that I cut, no soot whatsoever.
