What a brilliant idea!! I will get some tomorrow and clean my machine. I am sure I will find enough lint to stuff a pillow, even though I try and clean the bobbin area often.

Great idea.

I am going to try this one. Learn something new everyday.

Yes and it can be bent to reach hard to access spots too.

I use the ones that have "wavy" fuzz (in craft section at Joann's, Michael's, Hobby Lobby etc.) The long "hair" on certain parts helps with the lint removal. Bought one bag for around a dollar and shared with my entire quilt group.

My husband smokes a pipe and has pipe cleaners with a tiny metal barb in them and they are wonderful for cleaning all the machines and getting in tight areas and pulls out the fuzzies!!!

I use Qtips they work great too! The best part I always have them in house... !

Great idea. Make sure you unplug your machine first.

I use an small old artist type paint brush. It reaches into lots of areas too pick up lint. Diane C
