There's a LOT of junk in there! And this machine is only 3 months old. Granted, I have made 6 quilts on it during that time, but I was really surprised by how much junk has accumulated in it already during this short time. Time to get the shop vac out now.
After the shop vac, I finish the cleaning with bent cotton swabs in the hard to reach areas. Amazing how much lint is still sticking in the crevices. :!:
