I bought the attachment set that you can use with a regular size vacuum from Walmart (back in the hardware dept).

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! We have a Siamese and your story makes me want to buy some pipe cleaners for her to play with! I guess they would also come in handy to clean my machines. |
The straw!

I don't know of a tiny vacuum for this purpose. What I use is a tiny hose set:

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. |
Here we go again, post from 8 years ago! Dont waste your time.

Sometimes I search here for answers to my own questions and am thrilled that someone had the answer 8 years ago. :)

Well said, QuiltedGranny! I am happy this thread came up in the main feed as I learned something too. Of course, if a reader already knows all they need to on the subject, or does not want any information written prior to 2023,
they have the option to not read the thread. |
I have a dedicated small shop vac under my LA specifically for cleaning it out with each bobbin change. I was told not to use compressed air on this specific machine as it can lodge the fuzz into crevices that can mess up performance and need a much deeper cleaning. I tried using a small hand held vac but it didn't have the suction needed, and I've got a lot of room for the bobbin case so don't need a small hose end to fit.
