What's a body to do? Maybe we should all be using filters?
I've sure been amazed how much this current project has generated. Digging around in the scrap bins, cutting, sewing, trimming....lots of small pieces with lots of edges! I'm glad to know that the actual lint pieces can be expelled (thanks for that info, BellaBoo) but I know I'm sucking in that dust. I'm looking at a HEPA filter that has two filters that can be cleaned rather than replaced. I hate having to look for replacement filters.
