There is an attachment that you can put on your vacuum hose that you can use for to vacuum out all the lint, I think I got mine years ago at Clotilde. If she does not have them I would google it.... maybe sewing machine vacuum attchment or something to that effect

Clotilde carries the attachments for vacs. I use mine all the time.
And Clotilde has the best price of all the sewing machine cleaning attachments. Check it out:

Buy a can of compressed air I use it and it works I have a very clean machine after I use it.
Make sure to hold the can as upright as u can there is some mosture at the bottom of it.

Is there such a thing as a vacuum cleaner for sewing machines??? If not, what can I use?

You have to be careful using canned air on some of your machines, if you get moisture it there it could cause you some problems,,,, I know lots of folks clean with canned air, I am just saying be careful with the moisture
