WOW, thanks for all the info. I guess I will not be using it on my Brother CS6000i that I just purchased but I think I would still be safe to use it on my 45 year old Universal. My compressed air can says "no CFC" so I guess that means it has no freon in it.

I bought a small vac from Walmart and also got a package of vacuum mini vac tools and I suck out my machine regularly. I'll be doing it this evening after I finish sewing for the day. It's been awhile since I did mine so I'm overdue...
My friends all like coming to my house to sew since they can clean their machines too!

What is the little vacuum?

Compressed Air is a bad idea. I have had a lot of training from Bernina Tec. and they warned us many times not to use c/a
If you sew ever day pop the plate and use a soft brush it only take a few seconds to keep lint from building up.
