The Lint in My Machine OH MY!!
#64
I clean all of my machines on the first Saturday of the month and more regularly if they were used. I keep a container of cotton swabs, old toothbrush , tweezers and dental picks beside my work table. Dental pics are great for loosening the fuzz build up around the feed dogs. A good packing of lint around that area sure does wonders to throw your stitching off.

I've used the Q-tip too, especially when sewing on fleece or velvets.
One time when I had been hemming fleece ponchos AND working on a velvet vest, that the lint in my sewing machine rivaled that in my dryer!

Urban myth or not I am not using it on my expensive sewing machine.
Something else DH told me about canned air is that if it is not held
straight it will produce some kind of liquid. Do I want that in my machine?
I don't think so.
