I have just installed a nice sewing section for myself in the recreation room which has Berber carpet on the floor. The vacuum cleaner gets jammed up with threads so I have been using the lint removal wand to pick up threads and small pieces of fabric off the floor. I have been searching around for a lint roller that would be like a broom size...No luck...thinking of making my own!! Any suggestions? At 80 yrs of age..getting up and down off the floor is not an easy task lol

I saw this at the Phoenix show. I almost bought one, but I wanted more quilt stuff instead.....

I'm glad I waited---even with the outrageous shipping it is $10.00 cheaper!

Buy a lint refill and put it on a paint roller with a long handle. They're about the size that would slip over the empty roller.

You're welcome - at 75 I don't get down on the floor either.

Wow thanks...never thought of that...I'm only 55 and sick of getting down and crawling around picking bit of everything from the sewing rm rugs....

What a great idea! At 68 with bad knees, this would be a big help.
