Great idea. Will make one as soon as I clear my machine. Is their any steel wool dust that might need to be vacuumed out of the bobbin area?

Thank you for helping us sew better and save money too.
Your English is fantastic. You got your idea across just fine and the pictures helped.

Great job. Thanks.
