What a brilliant idea!! I will get some tomorrow and clean my machine. I am sure I will find enough lint to stuff a pillow, even though I try and clean the bobbin area often.

Yes and it can be bent to reach hard to access spots too.

I use the ones that have "wavy" fuzz (in craft section at Joann's, Michael's, Hobby Lobby etc.) The long "hair" on certain parts helps with the lint removal. Bought one bag for around a dollar and shared with my entire quilt group.

My husband smokes a pipe and has pipe cleaners with a tiny metal barb in them and they are wonderful for cleaning all the machines and getting in tight areas and pulls out the fuzzies!!!

Great idea. Make sure you unplug your machine first.
