This attaches to the nozzle end of most vacuum cleaners, including both regular vacuums and handhelds.
You can also use a regular vacuum cleaner hose by attaching a straw to a crevice tool with painter's tape. This doesn't work as well as the mini kit, but not too bad.

I got my vacuum hose attachments at Harbor Freight cost $9.
It's an attachment set for computer, sewing machines and small detail work.
Here is the link to Harbor Freight .... http://www.harborfreight.com/8-piece...kit-32994.html
I love mine and use it all the time.
Hope this helps.

I bought the attachments ,which go on my existing vacuum cleaner, at a quilt show. They had no labelling but were packaged well enough. I think they may be obtained from China and are excellent for cleaning my serger. You really only need to have a straw-like tube attached to the end of your vacuum to do the job. I think an inverted funnel ,of the right size, taped to the end of your vacuum hose might do the trick.

Pipe cleaners can be found at dollar stores-I think around fifty in a pack.
LOL- my siamese loooooves to play with those things. She carries them around like they're her babies and drags them to her food dish. There's usually at least a dozen piled around her food dish. (I think she's trying to feed them?)
When I mop the kitchen floor I snatch them all up and hide them in her cat tower. For the next few days she'll grab them when she thinks noone is looking and carry them back to the food dish.
She's funny!
