Default Saving tomato seeds

I've grown thee tomato plants in a gro-bag away from other varieties in

Any tips on harvesting and saving the seeds, please? Specifically how to
dry them without them all sticking together?

If it is anything like my outdoor cherry tomatoes, the secret is to let
them fall off the plant into the gravel and get ground under foot for
several months, covered in ice and snow and then when it gets warm in
late Spring they miraculously shoot up all over the drive, flower beds
and patio! ;-)
