Love this!!!! I just spent 20 minutes trying to get all the thread up from my floor after I finished a project. Thank you for this tip.

wow, i love this!

I bought a set of lint rollers at a quilt show some years ago. It came with a short handle, a purse size, and a broom length handle. The lint rollers never needs replacing. When it's full, everything rinses off. I have used it almost daily and it still works like new. It has a lifetime replacement on the roller if I need it.

I'll be looking for my paint roller soon; it's around here somewhere. Here's another tip for using lint rollers: they're really good at getting crawling ticks off of animals. In tick season we lint roll all dogs when they come in the house.

Rolling quilts with a straight handle roller has always been uncomfortable to me.

This is a 4" paint roller, perfect right size.
I'm going to pick up some more refills and try it with my 8" paint roller, should work great as long as both rolls go on at the same time.

I have found that that a pair of rubber gloves make my job easier.
