i was glad to see this thread. i am making my dh and dm rag quilts for christmas. i was dreading washing and drying them and see all the fuzz and pills. i was my dh's today and sure enough there was fuzz. i went to bed, bath and beyond where i had seen a fabric shaver. it worked GREAT! i was so happy. it is an evercare giant fabric shaver for $12.99. worth every penny! it took less than 15 minutes to go over the front and back of a 9 row by 13 row rag quilt. be sure to empty the fuzz every several rows. now i won't dread washing my dm's rag quilt.
