tiny vacuum for cleaning sewing machines and keyboards
I have been looking for the small vacuums that are used to clean electronics and things. I looked at Walmart and Office Depot. The associates at Office Depot kept saying canned air? I said no, a vacuum that sucks up the dust. All we have is canned air. I know some of you have these; so where did you find yours?

I don't know of a tiny vacuum for this purpose. What I use is a tiny hose set:

This attaches to the nozzle end of most vacuum cleaners, including both regular vacuums and handhelds.
You can also use a regular vacuum cleaner hose by attaching a straw to a crevice tool with painter's tape. This doesn't work as well as the mini kit, but not too bad.

I got one at Harbor Freight, it's a hose with an adapter that fits your regular vacuum cleaner hose. It comes with several cleaning attachments and only cost me $10.00. www.harborfreight.com

Nancy's Notions has a nice little compact vacuum. Also, connecting threads has a set of attachments that work with your regulated vacuum but are small for computers & seeing machines. They work great.

I have used my regular attachments but put a knee high on the end and stood back a bit. Knee high would catch the small parts so they wouldn't get caught up in the machine, like small screws. I don't even like to use the clean air on my computer key board.

I looked on their online catalog; but couldn't find it. Can you send me a link to it? Thank you.
