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.
T.I.A.

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.

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.

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.

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
