Anyone have any ideas on what to do about removing pet fur from quilts?

Shake a few times before throwing in dryer to loosen the hair. I have the same problem w/ pet hair :wink:

Another suggestion for the sticky tape: I read a long time ago that it's helpful if you get lily pollen on something. And it does the job, at least mostly! (File this away for Easter...)
By extension: it also works well if you have a dusty/dirty smudge on a piece of fabric. Using the tape doesn't rub the dirt into the fibers of the fabric. I've rescued quite a few fabrics this way!

I guess I will have a look around the dollar stores and Wal-mart for
Sticky tape
Contact paper
Bounce pet hair sheets
Pledge sweeper thingy
Sticky rollers
Rubber gloves...
and try and keep Finn off the chair I sit in while doing the bindings. (they don't like the sewing room)
Thanks folks!

:lol: Y'all just don't know, try to top this..............
I have my Irish Setter/Lab mix that is the quality control manager, she is pretty cool about just wanting to sniff each block as I am working on it. Daddy has to show her everything I am working on or she gets her feelings hurt (big baby :roll: ).
Then you throw in 2 Pomeranians that like to tussle on the quilts as your trying to pin them on the floor. :(
And to top everything else I have a Chihuahua that slides in and lays on it and looks at you like "Gee thanks for the new blankie dad". :x
They are my babies but man they really need to cut me some slack!

I use a rubber glove like you use in the kitchen. Just put it on and scrape the glove along the quilt holding the quilt as taut as possible. I have to do it on my bed all the time as dc loves to lie up by my head. :lol:
