Right now I am making a Biscuit quilt with Minkee and when I had to cut all the squares I put some old muslin on the floor and then my cutting tools. That is where I cut it all, then I just rolled up the muslin and took it straight out to the trash. I did have a little to vacuum up but it was not bad. I am almost finished with it and of course it is for one of my great grand daughters. I have an attachment for my vacuum and use it on my sewing machine. I do really like the feel of it and will probably make another one as I am sure word will get around.
