    I wouldn't "Blow" any air into a machine since it can get lodged in places that can cause it to get jammed. I know you can get little vacuums for computers and I think they would work for machines too. That is on my list for the future.

    I bought an attachment that fits on my regular vacuum. It cost me $14.95. It works great.

    I rigged up a clear 1/4 " tubing to a nozel that fits the vaccume,The tube is about a foot long and flexable enough to wiggel around with out dammanging anything.

    On computer keyboard and sewing machine I use a long, curved eyelash brush. It gets masses of stuff when I can twirl it around. On the keyboard it gets clouds of white Persian hair because a certain cat walks back and forth in front of me when I'm on the computer, crying for attention and tries to do the same when I'm sewing.

    I can pull out threads and hairs from the sewing machine and it gets pretty far back down there. I think I'll try to see if the bottom will come off, never thought of that before.
