Hi everyone. That is my blog post she initially linked to. I vacuum my strips on each end of the roll when it is still tied up. I do it carefully. I don't really do it with the strips all laid out like that, I just forgot to take a picture for my blog post when I did this!
I do it because I have brother and she has problems with lint. Like another commenter said, she has had hers in and out of the shop. I LOVE my machine, but I have a hard time using precuts because of the really fine lint and dust that the pinked edges creates!
