"We're outside now and in this step we're going to shake out the quilt. We call it kind of shake, rattle and roll in this step. But we'll shake this fabric as much as we can to see if we can get the excess fibers and excess lint etc., out of the quilt. And it will make it more fuzzy. So we've just come inside from shaking the quilt. And you'll see that we raised a lot of fibers. And in the air of course they attach to a nice solid back on this quilt. So what you'd like to do, is really pull off the biggest pieces that you can with your hand. But you probably going to need to get hold of a lint roller. So you could roll off the excess. Just to make the quilt look nice and give it that finished appearance."
