I was told the reason not to use the canned air is because there is the propellent in the can that can rust the gears, besides pushing the lint in further. I was telling this to my DH, after talking to some of our guild members about, and he went out, and bought me an air compressor. The guy at the story thought we were going to pressure wash the house.LOL when we told him what it how I was going to use it. The canned air is also flammable of course you turn off your machine, but it could still be plugged in? Never!

I love my little mini-vac attachments for cleaning around the machines and sucking up what I have brushed out. The little crevice tool reaches places that sometimes the brush misses. Don't think I would chance using compressed air.

Yes, I use it pretty often. My technician says to blow out the bobbin area every time you sew for very long.
I think it is a great product! I was surprised how much lint fabric gives off until I observed it around my featherweight.

I have had one of the attachments that fit on your regular vacuum for years. Have used it on my home machines and industrial with good results. It also works on the keyboard of your computer and many other things.

You definitely don't want to blow lint deeper into your machine.
