sweet I will be going there this weekend. thx for the tip

Yes, don't use canned air to clean your machine. It just blows every thing back where you can't get it out. A while back, someone here on QB posted some pictures of the bottom inside of a machine that had been "cleaned" with canned air and it was a solid mess of gunk!

Sylviak,

you should be able to find a regular mechanic's "stubby screwdriver" at any store which handles automotive tools or others. I usually end up borrowing my son's tool if I need to get that screw out! I'm a great one for advice, I need to get one for my tool box!

Oh yea, gotta ha dat!

I would love 2 sets of these but alas, we do not have a harbor freight near by. Oh well.

That sounds great. I may have to go over there.

They have some neat useful stuff there, I wonder through the store when I go with my husband just looking for anything that I might use sewing or other wise.

I use cleaned mascasra brushes, too. One is straight and thin and the other fuller and curved. The two I have are soft, no exposed metal on the ends. I didn't care much for the brush that came with my Janome, these work much better for me and also on my Innova longarm. I will be looking for the stubby rachet screwdriver set, sounds really useful.

I was there 4 days ago -wish I had seen this post before then-I want that....

And I have a mascara which is getting dry and used up. Now I know not to throw away the brush when it's finished! Wish I kept the last one....
