Cleaning Sewing Machine
#11
I got a bag with mini attachments that fits all vacuums, (that's what it says on the bag) I read some where NOT to used canned air as just pushes the gunk into the machine further. I hook it up on my vac and just go down the line and do all 9 machines at one time, then while it is out and ready I do the floors. I use a one inch paint brush for cleaning each time I change the bobbin for lint and threads.

Harbor freight has mini bristel brushes made to clean paint sprayers for just a few $$.

I use a paintbrush with bristles that are on the stiffer side. The soft ones are too soft. I also have a little vacuum cleaner attachment set I bought at Harbor Freight a long time ago, I don't think they carry it anymore but I've seen it on Amazon.
Here are instructions on how to clean your machine, plus a great picture showing what happens if you use canned air.
