Guess I am odd-woman-out. I bought the craft type pipe cleaners and do not like them at all, too flimsy. I much prefer the real pipe cleaners as they are more rigid and get into those hard to reach areas.

Was a guest at my friends Guild meeting last week. When we signed in, we were all given 4 brightly colored pipe cleaners. The use of them to be revealed later. Well! Guess what? They were to be used to clean out your bobbin case and surrounding LINT areas. fold in half and go for those tiny spaces. You'll be amazed at the gunk you'll find.. And they are reusable ! I can't wait to get home to clean my big machine cause I KNOW there is at least a bolt of lint in places I haven't been able to get that brush in to.!! We are RV-ing central coast of California and won't be home till April.... *sigh* lint will have to wait... clean "ON" !!
We are planning our RV trips for this year and looking forward to it!
