The precut strips are cut with a fine pinking, and it does fill up my machine with lint. I like the idea of vacuuming them, but I will try on the ends of the roll instead of the individual strips. I have a computer vacuum set up for my regular vacuum, I will use that.

If it's a Brother sewing brother, I believe it. I've had mine for alittle over a year and it's been in the shop twice under warranty. I just dropped it off this weekend cause it hasn't been working properly, warranty's up. The tech said it's fill of lint which I find hard to believe because I haven't used for over six months cause it's not working properly. Apparently, it can't take the lint or the feed dogs are stripping the fabric....waiting to find out what's wrong this time.

I've heard of vacuuming older quilts through cheesecloth in a hoop. It gets the dust without damaging the quilt itself. I don't know how one hold the strips down - I can hear that sucky noise my vacuum makes when it grabs something it shouldn't. *shudder*
