Lint Dust From Thread On My Sewing Machine
#1
Do any of you have a problem with lint dust from thread on your sewing machine ? I think this was discussed here a while back, but I had not had a problem then........ now I have. I am sewing with some yellow/gold colored thread I just bought for sewing pot holders, and it is leaving a fine dust on the pressure foot and below. For starters, I don't like the thread (even though it is a commonly used thread) but bought it because the weather was bad, and I didn't want to drive farther to go to the quilt shop. I have never had this happen to this extent, and wondering if any of you have.

Yes, I have had that problem with colored thread at times. I just keep blowing the dust off when I see it and take the machine apart for a good clean every night . I suggest cleaning the machine good after every project to keep in working good.

i always have that problem with cotton thread...it seems to be very dusty-linty
i make it a manditory part of sewing to totally clean my machine every time i have to change bobbins so this (stuff) doesn't have a chance to build up and cause problems

If you have inside threading on your machine lint is a big problem. The older machines, all the threading is on the outside and almost double the thread guides to go through then on the newer machines. That makes a big difference in the amount of lint that collects in the machine.
