What I did while FMQ yesterday.
I made a scrappy quilt which allowed lots and lots of strings, lint and debris (pests) to gather on the quilt top. Before I started to FMQ, I had to "pick" the nested area to avoid stitching over these pests. Finally decided it was easier to run my lint roller to clean the nest where I wanted to quilt. And I didn't need to remove my gloves!!
When the quilting was done, the top had very few pests remaining. Next time, I will run the lint roller over the entire top after pin basting and while it is flat. Now off to the dollar store to get another lint roller.
