I also have read not to use air, but use your vacuum clean to bring the stuff out not push it in.

Have a wonderful quilty day,

simple quilter
I, too, have read about not using the air cans. Also, I was told by a "sewing machine person" not to blow (with your breath) the lint out around the bobbin area (and also in the serger) because of the humidity of your breath. It's almost a natural thing to do when I see lint. I want to blow it out. But I have to try to remember that it's a NO NO.

I ordered from the Clotilde catalog a little "gizmo" that attaches to my vacuum cleaner hose. There are very tiny attachments that reach down into the machine and the serger. I love it.
