Any stiff brush will work. They do sell one just for it, but I use an toothbrush with stiff bristles that I bought by mistake.

You are all so energetic. I have to admit that I am too lazy for this, so I use flannel, and I use rechargeable clippers because my hands won't let me use anything else.

I picked up a denture toothbrush at dollar store, they are very stiff and bigger than a normal toothbrush. It worked for me when I tried chenille.

The rag quilts I have made have been homespun and flannel. The homespun actually seemed to fray the best. When I put in it the dryer to fray I put some towels in with it. I read somewhere that helps. Also it is supposed to fray more as it repeatedly gets washed.
