    rag quilt scissors are the best...however I have added some extra padding on the handles. I sit infront of the TV and cut, some times I take two nights depending on how big the quilt....Be prepared for lint, lint, and more lint in both washer and dryer after cutting.....I wash twice, just because, the first time in hot water

    I've got a question about the lint..
    Do you wahs the quilt by hand the first time? how do you get rid of the worst then?
    I've just got a new washing machine and I'm a little scared of what the lint would do to it...
    Best wishes and Greetings

    I put my rootbeer in a square cup.... now it's just beer
