I found that a pack of artist paint brushes work better than any brush that came with any of my sewing machines. The artist paint brush will get into smaller places.

I use a fuzzy pipe cleaner. I used a small needle-nose pliers to bend the wire end over so as not to scratch anything inside when cleaning.

Got to harware store & get a 1/2" small paint brush to clean with. Do not use canned air it pushes dust further into machine.

Try the cleaned brush from an old mascara. It works great, I have one with both my machines and in my travel notion bag so I am never without one.

I try to clean my Bernina after every big project. I use Q tips to get most of the dust out and my stiletto for all the dust pads under the feed dogs.
