A few years ago I purchased a little vaccum cleaner attachment kit..to clean out all the lint and bunnies inside the sewing machine. It works great..just need to adjust the suction.
|
I have two industrial machines with motors mounted under the table. To avoid house calls I learned early to keep out the lint and threads (paint brush and tweezers). Only house call has been to replace a burned out motor with a larger one!

just think o fit this way,,, it is not lint,, it is company,, like the dust bunnies,,lol.. :-D
|
I am always shocked at how much lint is in there. You reminded me, I need to clean my machines again. Thanks.

It doesn't take long for the lint to build up if you use your machine every day for any length of time. I try to clean mine out every time I change my bobbin! It only takes a few minutes and saves me a headache in the long run!!

:lol: I bought a mini vac made to clean out machines [maybe from Clotilde] years ago and it does a great job,it has tiny attachments that fit my regular vac.
Worth its weight in gold. |
I used to use a can of air and read on here that it has moisture and is not good fro the machine. I have used canned air for years and all three of mine are still working fine. Does anyone know for sure about using air? I think the next time I see one of those mini vacuums for computers , I will get one for my machines.

Lordy me.....and then I realized also that I had jammed some of that lint onto that wheel while trying to get it out.......If I had taken a picture I guarantee you it would have been a whole hand full of lint and that is no exageration. I am still trying to get some of it out but can tell a big difference already. I think I am gonna have to go get that canned air to be able to get the rest out. Told DH I probably just saved him about $100...........

Another featherweight fan. How cool is that? I have other machines. I use my featherweight c. 1936.

I did not get the canned air. I think I got all the lint out, but I am gonna look for the mini vac for it. My vacumn will not work, I tried, cant get close enough to vacumn anything out.
