Go to your local cheap stuff store, and buy a cheap package of paint brushes for cheap artists. Do not get the ones that have black shiny bristles, they can actually shed into your machine (bad idea). Look for the ones that are reddish brown and look a little fluffy. I use one to get ALL the lint out of my machine, then run it gently through a comb to remove the lint. I now have five different sizes and when I am done, my machine has no lint left. Just remember to keep these brushes for your sewing machines to avoid getting the wrong substance in your machine. They are also great for 'detailing' my electronics when the covers are left off. Grrrr!
