Those work beautifully, just don't use the re-usable kind unless you have one strictly for dye work. You can also substitute any loosely woven fabric for the cheesecloth -- chiffon, lightweight gauzes, anything you can pour water through relatively easily. Tulle would work as well I think, though some are woven a little too loosely so would let bits through. Some other things I've used at the last minute - wadded mosquito netting, stacks piles of paper towels, a sifter, a mesh colander, window screen (make sure when using metals that they're not rusty and preferably stainless steel),... It depends somewhat on the size of what you're screening, but if you keep in mind that all you need to accomplish is to separate as much liquid out of the pulp as you can then you'll surely find something handy! ] Coffee filters!
