I mad
e 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.
My goodness!!! Where did you keep it?
