Feline Fanatic always gives good advice. I had this linty discussion when my teenaged son was upset with having to clean out the lint trap on the dryer after every load. Natural fibers give off lint because they are twisted into thread. The longer the fiber, the less the lint. If you don't want lint, don't use natural fibers. Personally I don't mind the lint. Living in Arizona, its better than the DUST! I put a tiny drop of machine oil on my paint brush when I de-lint. Makes the lint stick to the brush better and does not hurt my machine. Happy quilting!
