I use tape- like masking tape or duct tape and just make a circle around my hand and kind of dab at the hair. But I would wait until the fabric/quilt was about to leave the house to do that. No sense wasting time. LOL!
I also have some fleece "nests" in my craft room so that the cats will lay on those- and they do seem to. They leave a LOT of hair on that fleece. I had a spaniel when I was younger, and nothing seemed to get rid of his shed hair. He was worse than the cats.
