The makeup brush is perfect. I have used it for years. I keep one beside all my machines, sewing, embroidery and serger. I do a quick swipe whenever I change bobbins or thread. It's amazing what that little brush pulls out and being so soft, it will scrunch way inside without hurting the machine parts.
