I agree with this too. The lint is probably a combination of thread, cotton fabric and batting. Just get in the habit of cleaning more often and it shouldn't be a problem.
Well, I have been sewing for many years, and have used many threads and many brands. I clean my machine very frequently. I am very aware that cotton fabric and batting cause lint, but CT threads deposit more lint than other threads even when I am not using batting, so it isn't a problem of me improving my machine-cleaning habits. However, like I said -- it may not do this with other machines; with mine, it does.
