OK.........am going to throw this out there.......I use nothing but a can of compressed air. everytime I change
my bobbin, I give it a blast......been doing it for Years and years now......on both my computerized machine and my older Bernina....... |
Its always been said that blowing into the machine will make the dust go inside the motor area and should never be done! Glad to know you've not had problems doing it!

I did order what I have from them. It was not a small vac. It was attachments. I will look again to see if I can find it. Thanks.
I have a wholesale acct. with them and have it sitting here for a customer pickup. Just looked at it and you're right - no machine, just attachments. |

Just a note of caution: I was going to purchase one of those mini vacs from Office Depot that is used for keyboards/computers but the clerk told me to "save my $$" that it didn't work well at all. I have been on the lookout for one ever since. Going to check on the above recommendations! Thanks!

Patski - I checked on Nancy's Notions and couldn't find a small vacuum for cleaning my machine - only attachments for a large vacuum. Could you tell me the name of yours and I will look again? Thanks

I use a small paint brush or a makeup brush. Seems to keep everything in working order.

Just wondering if there is a gadget out there to vacum out the bobbin area on our sewing machines. I have a drop in bobbin and when it collects fuss balls the bobbin will skip. I have the small attachments for my regular vacum. However, it is a hassel to drag out that big machine each time. Just wondering if there is such a thing as a hand held mini vac just for machines and electronics. If so where can I purchase one. If anyone knows I know the quilting board will know this answer. Thanks so much ahead of time.:shock:

Every machine I ever bought had a little stiff brush in the attachment compartment that I have always used when cleaning out the bobbin case...Works wonderful....sometimes less is better.
