This attaches to the nozzle end of most vacuum cleaners, including both regular vacuums and handhelds.

You can also use a regular vacuum cleaner hose by attaching a straw to a crevice tool with painter's tape. This doesn't work as well as the mini kit, but not too bad.

I have this too and love it. Boy, the price is half what I paid about 5 years ago.

Thanks for the reminder. I have been meaning to get a set of attachments for my vacuum. I just ordered mine from Amazon. Yeah.

Yup. I can't find my old set, so at this price I just ordered a new one. Much less expensive than when they first came out!

I got my vacuum hose attachments at Harbor Freight cost $9.
It's an attachment set for computer, sewing machines and small detail work.
Here is the link to Harbor Freight .... http://www.harborfreight.com/8-piece...kit-32994.html
I love mine and use it all the time.
Hope this helps.

I got the attachments that fit my vacuume at Harbor Freight. Works great for keyboards too.

I bought the attachments ,which go on my existing vacuum cleaner, at a quilt show. They had no labelling but were packaged well enough. I think they may be obtained from China and are excellent for cleaning my serger. You really only need to have a straw-like tube attached to the end of your vacuum to do the job. I think an inverted funnel ,of the right size, taped to the end of your vacuum hose might do the trick.

I found a set at Walmart. If memory serves me well, I believe that they are Shop Vac. Found them in the section where the light bulbs are displayed.

Me too, and don't forget about pipe cleaners, they work great, need to put them on my shopping list!

Pipe cleaners can be found at dollar stores-I think around fifty in a pack.

LOL- my siamese loooooves to play with those things. She carries them around like they're her babies and drags them to her food dish. There's usually at least a dozen piled around her food dish. (I think she's trying to feed them?)

When I mop the kitchen floor I snatch them all up and hide them in her cat tower. For the next few days she'll grab them when she thinks noone is looking and carry them back to the food dish.

She's funny!
