My Service Tech. guy said to use the canned air around the bobbin to keep any lint out and prevent a lint build-up. It sure works for me. He also said to oil the little groove-looking things in the bobbin are after everytime you have been sewing for about 2 hrs. or so. That also works for me and keeps my machines running great!

If I were you I would be careful about using canned air. I have heard that it is not something one should use in a sewing machine - only a soft brush. Anybody else have any info???
