I keep a pipe cleaner by my machine and clean out around the bobbin each time I change it. I also take it apart and do extra cleaning with each new project. I had a machine for 20 yrs. before I started quilting and never cleaned it....yikes...no wonder it wasn't working correctly. The pipe cleaner quick cleaning works great.

I am constantly cleaning my machines. With each bobbin change I get rid of the lint and after each project I practically take the machine apart and clean it. I also use automotive car wax on my vintage machines and keep the plastic finish cleaned on my newer machines. My amchines all look like new, even my vintage ones.

What kind of animal did you have in there? Looks like it made a nest. LOL

OMG!

I give my Juki and Baby Lock a cleaning after about every 4th bobbin change. Almost every day I give the one I'm working on a real good cleaning and oil the Juki every day. What I am lax on is changing the needle!

I clean after every 2 bobbins and after every project
