I use an old cat brush to brush the fur off where my four ragdolls lay. It works really well. Good luck and glad you're able to quilt again.

Use a latex glove and rub off. Also rubber tipped broom.

Pledge makes a pet fur remover that works really well. They call it the Pledge Fabric Sweeper. The downside is that it's expensive, $12 (cheaper through Amazon). But, you can empty it when it's full. Scotch also makes the Fur Fighter. I like the Pledge product better.
Janet I LOVE this thing on my sofa...should be great on a quilt! |
Amazing how much hair can come off an animal - and they still look like they have a decent coat!

Try a slightly dampened sponge. A few years ago, I bought a sponge block in the cat dept at the local pet store just to remove the hair off my dark eggplant chenille furniture. It worked well but as usual, it eventually turned up missing. Now I just take a regular sponge, wet it and then wring the heck out of it to get any excess water out of it. It works just as well as the one that I paid more money for!!

The very best thing I've found for cat fur removal is the Scotch 3M Fur Fighter. I have a large, long haired black cat. It'll pull cat fur out of fabric you can't even see!

A glove that you use to wash dishes will work to remove pet hair.
latex gloves work great. you can even use them on your animals to help rid them of their loose hairs. of course i take my cats outside on the back porch to rub them down with the gloves and let the hair blow in the wind. the birds use the hair for their nests so it gets recycled.:) |

Suggestion: I have now switched to cat (and dog) proof utility quilts like the strippy rag one photographed below and don't even consider making anything else in this animal loving home environment. I live in peace with the little devils now (and cotton flannel does not attract cat/dog hair like I thought it would-even with a black background):

Feel better! BTW... I think your kitty was just keeping your quilt company while Mommy was gone... LOL! |
