I attended a class when I purchased my machine and was told to NEVER blow dust away. He said the humidity from your breath is not a good thing for your machine. He suggested one of those "air cans" or a vacuum cleaner.
I bought a little hose with a tiny nozzle to attach to my regular vacuum cleaner hose. It is especially for machines such a sewing machines, computers, etc. It really works well for removing lint, crumbs
:wink: , etc.
