I try very hard to keep my cat off my quilts and fabric. I don't always succeed. I have a test FMQ pannel that I used to practice on that I leave for her to lay on. I also covered the top of a little cupboard right next to my sewing machine with fleece for her to lay on and watch the birds outside. So she doesn't get on my fabric very often. I wash my quilts when I am finished so hopefully if there is any cat hair on them it will come out in the wash.
