Corey, I figured that you would have a brilliant idea! Not sure if I'm up to playing engineer or not tonight, but I'll see if I can find the necessary items tomorrow and will give it a try. The only problem I see is that I'd have to line up all the seeds, which would take more time than just pulling the fluff off by hand. They are so light that they float when any breeze hits them. We've been playing "catch the fairy" all day! Rolling on the floor laughing

Karen, I'm leaving the fluff on the seeds that I'm keeping for myself, because I am also lazy, but I'm trading seeds with a couple of people, and want to clean them up before sending them to their new homes. I know it won't matter when it comes to planting them, but I want them to look nice. I'm being silly about it, but it's just the way I am.
