Totally open. Took brush to inside and scooped out even more lint (between the two cleanings I think there was enough lint to stuff a small toy) took alcohol on q-tip to feed dogs and wiped them down. Put everything back on, even a new needle, a different bobbin of thread, and a different spool of thread. Now it feels tight when I manually move the needle, like it doesn't want to go. I haven't tried sewing yet because it is so tight feeling. Very frustrating!
