Oh, please do not use the compressed air or blow into your machine ... as that can send lint, thread or tiny fabric pieces further in, and get trapped. Eventually it can build up and be jammed in there, and by not doing so, you can save on repair costs. Or as in KellyVs case, a broken needle may go further in and cause damage.

The technician at my dealer always emphasizes to use a vacuum only for cleaning a machine.
