after you finish the quilt put a clean sheet down somewhere, then the quilt, vacuum it very well, I use a hand held (dust buster) when finished either wash it, or bag it right away to protect it from new hair getting on it. i have made wool (bed-rugs) heavy wool quilts with lots of wool applique, cats seem to absolutely LOVE WOOL QUILTS! so, vacuumed well (both sides) then i wash it, get it dried and bag it in pillowcase to keep the cat hair away.

I know this won't be a popular "answer", but I think Pzazz has the right idea -- making the sewing room off limits to pets. I love pets as much as anyone else; but I would wonder about selling/giving something to someone who is allergic to pet dander/hair, etc. It would upset me greatly to think I had caused someone to have a serious allergic reaction.

Pledge has a new product that actually works. It has two rollers on it and a plastic top. When it is full of pet hair you throw it away. It works great - I have a black cat.

I run a cat rescue hence my house is full of fur at all times. I use a brush by evercare, its shaped almost like a hair brush but instead of bristles it has a pad of fabric. If you brush one way it will pull it all off and then with your hand you remove the WADS of fur by brushing the other way. It never needs refilling, no more tap pads (I would go broke if I had to buy those) and it really does get the fur off. I have no less than 10 cats/kittens every single day zooming around here and a husband who is allergic to cats so that fur has to get off his chair completely and my bed. Good luck.

I have an American Eskimo with really long white hair. He is not allowed in my quilting room, but still does not matter, the hair is still around, no matter how much you vacumn. Hence my Avitar.

I have a white cat and a quilt on my bed with black backing. The Pledge pet hair remover is the ONLY thing that works for this. The black fabric seems to collect every white hair and doesn't want to give it up. I tried lint rollers, washing and drying, nothing worked. I bought the Pledge thing and wow! Nary a hair left. It says to throw it out when full, but I pulled off a roller thing and dumped the hair out, put it back together and it works like new again.

:lol: Hi, I'm Pam L from Chippewa Falls, WI. I have a lot of critters, mostly cats, but one dog (poor Buck) that was an Arizona dog, and sheds year round. He shakes and you see the hair flying. I have been using one of two besides the dryer. One is a lint mitt, I believe I got it at Walmart. The tag inside says The Evercare Company, #5839, and it is made in China! It works wonderful on my husbands navy blue work pants, as well as furniture (fabric). It is machine washable and to clean it daily you just take an old towel and swipe the mitt in the other direction. The second item I have right in my sewing room near the ironing board is the masking tape roll, you go through a few sheets, but it works wonders also. Good luck with the critter fur removal, but a house is not a home without those little things. Pam L

I have the Australian equivalent of Elisabrat's brush and it works wonders with long dog hair in particular and it never wears out.

I found a pet hair eracer sponge that works terrific. I just cant remember where I got it. I think Kablins Tru Value store ( Ace hardware). I use nothing else now that I found it. It's great !
