Depends on the fabric.
If it's a smooth fabric, I've found success removing pilling by using my regular hand razor (dual or triple-blade).
The trick, I've found, is to pull the fabric tight, and then gently/lightly pass the razor over the fabric in a single direction.
As long as I can get a smooth surface by pulling the fabric tight, the hand razor is my go-to method for removing pilling.
