Need help for Boo Boo Brush
Ok, I frogged a few stitches. Took my boo boo brush and got all the fuzzys
off the ground fabric. Could someone please tell me how to get the fuzzys off the boo boo brush. It has been so long since I used it I forgot how to clean it - which maybe is why I seldom use it.

Would sliding a piece of tape across it work? Probably not politcally correct,
but I wrap tape around my finger, sticky side out, and rub across fabric to remove my fuzzys.

I thought the same thing too using sticky tape to remove the
fuzzies. If the tape doesn't work, then perhaps using a tooth-brush (or even a fine-toothed comb?) to "comb" the boo-boo may work? I know I use a comb (well, more like a "pick") to remove hair from my hair-brusH. Sky too lazy to do sig (sigh) Rhea wrote: Would sliding a piece of tape across it work?

Could someone please tell me how to get the fuzzys
off the boo boo brush. I would love the answer to this question too! I bought a Boo Boo Brush because I thought it would be a time saver, but then all the threads are caught in the brush. Stephanie Alabama, USA remove NOSPAM to reply |

This part is for after you have frogged a few stitches;
I found a *gentle* rub with masking tape (sticky side down) works to get the fuzzys off the fabric. The boo boo brush is good for pushing the fuzzys out of the holes. I also use a small battery powered car vacuum to suck up the any remains - very quiet at 2:30 a.m.G. I have tried everything imaginable for cleaning the boo boo brush - nuttin woiks very well. They are cheap so maybe as a last resort I will try a lit candle - then wash off the soot and ash, assuming there is anything left. This part is for after you have finished the design; I don't like to use any kind of a brush on a finished design. It raises the possibilities of making matters worse. I go over mine with a few *light* strokes of my hand and masking tape sticky side down. I say *light* because some brands are very sticky. Then vacuum gently. IMHO most of the fuzzys sticking up through the surface are bits of the ends of buried threads from the back that get pulled through. If the design still looks like it could use a *shave* - er - that is what it gets. I gently pass the mustache trimmer part of my electric razor over the fuzzy spots and vacuum off any residue. Works like a charm. No after shave lotion advisedG. Fred http://www.stitchaway.com Success in one's career is no proof and not much evidence that one is not a dumbbell the rest of the time.

It is safe to use on areas where you have frogged stitches. Like you say it
catches threads and I would *never* use it on stitched areas. Cleaning the brush is a bear!! Hey maybe that's a better name - Boo Bear Brush.G Fred http://www.stitchaway.com Success in one's career is no proof and not much evidence that one is not a dumbbell the rest of the time.
