Yep, this is the way I do it. I Hate when I forget to put the foot down.

What is a Bobbin Genie? I'm known as the "Notion Queen" in my group, but that one must have slipped by me!

I went to the 99cent store or the dollar tree as it too , and bought a roller for lint on clothes. You roll it across and all the strings disappear . When it quits working you remove the paper and stickey stuff appears and you roll again. I had the same problem with one of my quilts and it works great. So I use it on all of my quilts when I finish them.

I get a cheap roll of masking tape and fold it back on itself on the roll. That way I can stick my hand in the middle and roll the tape over whatever needs to be cleaned. I also "roll" it on the design wall (or across furniture to get rid of dog hair). When I fold it back on itself I leave the end slightly off center so there is a little 'tab' on the edge where I can lift it off itself to start a fresh piece.

I use a fabric lint roller. It picked up all the threads when I was having eyelash problems . I want to think that everyone goes through that learning stage. It helps me to believe that anyway! It also picks up the paper pieces when I'm doing paper piecing. Good luck....

I have found that a clean pencil eraser "grabs" the threads and pulls them out or gathers them in a bunch that I can pick up.

yep, link roller works best. I'm sure it has happened to all of us.

I use mailing tape or duct tape, whatever I have around that is wide and sticky. Cheaper than lint rollers. Or masking tape or the blue painters tape. What ever you have available.

I use the pledge hair roller! It picks up even the tiniest threads and I've been using the same roller for a year! Lots of room left in the catcher area

Try using a Pet Erasur. It is made by Pledge and can be found by the Pledge, cleaning items. Works great on cat, dog hair and lint.
