I am a longarmer and I agree with this advice! I don't smoke, and I have several customers who bring me quilt tops that reek of smoke. I hang them on a bar in my garage for a week before I take them into my home or studio. I have a sign in my studio that says: Smoke-free, Pet-Hair-free Environment.
