I wish I had a Harbor Frieght nearby. I understand those stores have some pretty nifty household tools. I looked at the internet store and was not impressed. There is a store by where my daughter lives. May have to go there when I visit her.

When I bought my Bernina the dealer said to use Q-tips to clean my machine.

I have a set of small attachments which I attach to my vacuum cleaner. They are great for my overlocker (serger) and machines. You can order them online.

I also have a small set of attachments to vacuum out my sewing machines. I clean my machines...bobbin area after each quilt. It is a great way to keep you machines in top running order. I also clean my bobbin area out throughly after each bobbin change. Course with King Tut thread I rarely have any buildup but do this out of habit.

What a great idea, never thought of that one.

Connie F. that is the attachment I bought at the Viking sewing center. I think it was the same price.

The compressor is a great idea. Thanks, I glad to know that big thing in the garage is good for something.

Won't the compressor just force lint and threads deeper into your machine?

I was told by dealers to NEVER blow into your machine and never use the compressed air. Both the compressed air and your breath contain moisture.
I use a small artist brush.
Before I learned the correct way to clean my latest machine, I had used it for about three months, I only used an artist brush and when I went to my first class, I was happy to see very little lint when we were taught how to take it apart to clean it.
I had not even taken off the throat plate in all that time as I couldn't figure out how. It was clean there too as I had used the tiny artist brush up under the plate. I had just finished sewing with flannel and fleece before my class so I was really pleased that it was clean.
Moisture will ruin your machine.
