Sheet Protector

When pressing a bed-size quilt top, I place a large clean sheet under my ironing board to prevent the quilt top from coming in contact with pet hair or whatever else may be on the floor. I also drape a sheet over my sofa when I'm sitting on the sofa to hand-sew binding. These tricks eliminate the need to use a lint roller on the large quilt later.
