I am using Hobbs 80/20 Warm & Natural on a quilt but as I am getting ready to quilt the borders I see a lot of fuzz that has stuck to the border fabric. What is the best way to avoid this happening? I foresee using a lint roller of the quilt as I sure don't want the fuzz under the quilting threads. Any other suggestions for future reference?

Wow, that is interesting. I never have noticed that problem but when fabric rubs against batting, there is bound to be some fuzz attached. I have the lint rollers and when everything is on sale at JAF, the lint replacements are what I buy (to have on hand). Remember, there is also the fuzz from flannel.

I've never noticed that either. Are you using 2 layers of batting? Hobbs 80/20 and Warm & Natural are 2 different batts.

Sorry this happened, scrim is suppose to be facing the backing. Don't know if that would have stopped this or not.

It looks like surface lint? Use your sticky roller and see if all comes off the fabric. It is called bearding if the batt comes up through the sandwich with the quilting thread. In a few places if beaeding, I have inserted a pin through the top and gently swish the pin under the spot to bring the beard back into the sandwich. If you have a lot of bearding it will be a big job.

I have this on my quilt I'm making at class, probably because I have excess betting around my top and I roll it up for travel to class, nothing a lint roller or a vacuum with the dust attachment want remove. ��

I had that happen on a black and orange quilt. I needed a new needle. Mine had a small burr, which pulled the batting through to the top.

Yes, that happens to me all the time when I use Quilters Dream Cotton with darker borders. My only solution unfortunately was the lint roller.

I agree with Aronel. I bet your needle has a burr on it and should be changed to avoid any more problems.

Warm &Natural and Hobbs are different brands. I don't find Hobbs very linty. I do find Pellon Legacy really linty. Don't use W & N so don't know about it. this doesn't look like bearding but use surface lint.
