We are on a well and I have a front loader so I had the same concerns. The last (I should say Last) rag quilt I made, I held it on my lap on a hard board. Then I spritzed the seams with water and brushed the dickens out of each seam using a stiff-bristled brush. I couldn't believe the amount of thread/fuzz that came out. It's a method I would use again IF I were to make another (which is unlikely). I think it's called a Chenille Brush.
