What Causes Lint?
Wow. I've never seen so much lint in my life! Before I had to stop sewing 10 years ago, I do not remember this much at all. Not just in my Janome, but also my Baby Lock. I've been working on a quilt for my MIL (first one on the frame set up) and cleaning out the Janome every time I change a bobbin. Can't believe how much is coming out.
I noticed this in my practice sandwiches as well, so I switched from Metrosene thread to Aurifil, and I had been using Hobbs batting, but found Pellon batting (made in USA!) that was less fuzzy. That has helped a bit, but I still can't believe how much there is. So it begs the question, what the heck is causing it all? I'm able to clean out the bobbin area, but am a little concerned about the tension, since I can't get in there. Every time I thread my machine gobs of it come out! YUCK!!!
