I clean the bobbin area every time I change bobbins.
My mom once had problems with her old 301A and called me at work. I had her clean the whole bobbin area because she said she had never cleaned it. She told me later that it looked like a little felt pad under the throat plate. I suggested she do it a bit more often.

I clean mine thoroughly at each bobbin change too and here's a tip that might be worthwhile ... I bought a very soft blusher brush from the pharmacy to clean out the lint and it works like a dream. No blowing into the area, though, only brush OUTWARDS.

If your machine had this much lint, it should be serviced you probably have this much lint in areas you can't reach that is why machines go in for servicing. We can only reach the bobbin area and not the rest of the machine and that is a lot of lint just to be in your bobbin area. Cleaning out the bobbin area does not clean out the rest of the machine
