I've been doing a lot of quilting the past 6 months. My thread kept getting caught inside my machine, so I had to take it apart to remove all the fuzz. I could have stuffed a small stuffed animal! LOL!
Yes, I know what you mean! Time to de-fluff! Sadly I lost my hand-made sudoku quilt recently in a fire - it was a present for my husband, which he was really sad to lose. I still have the matching cushion which escaped the flames.
