Just took my machine apart today and found enough fuzz for a small family of rabbits. :!: :!: :!:

I keep a pipe cleaner handy all the time so that whenever I change the bobbin I can just run it around inside until it is time to drag out the vacuum with my sewing machine cleaning attachments. A quilting instructor suggested that I use the pipe cleaners. She also said to keep a coffee filter nearby to gather the thread scraps on, works like a charm.
