I just finished a couple of t shirt quilts for a friends kids...one of my cats thinks it is her "job" to help quilt them on the long arm...needless to say...calico cat...black backing...she left her trail of fur...used lint roller...got rid of all but a few stray hairs....Long story short...Friend said not to worry...they have a dog...and the quilts will soon have dog hair to go with left over cat fur...EXCEPT...dog apparently doesn't like the smell of cat fur...so is staying off the quilts!!!
