Mentioned on the QB, (here) was to go the Harbor Freight and buy airbrush painting cleaning brushes, for $2.99. OMG, cheap and works very well for cleaning out the bobbin area. I have several different machines. The cleaning brushes are thin and can get into areas with out disturbing the electronics or the older machine mechanic. There are 5 different sizes, all small to fit into areas unimaginable.. and they do a great job at getting out the fuzz from your machine. Yes, I have the hoze attachements for the vaccum...and it is a drag to bring it out. But this little cheap tool works wonders when I am lazy and have getting the project done. Some on on this quilt board recomended it, and I could kiss her. Harbor Freight was my saviour....
