I use a cosmetic brush. It works pretty good.

I have an adapter for my vacuum, and I should use it more often!!

I've gotten in the habit of vacuuming my machine everytime I vacuum the house. I have one of those attachments for machines, but never was happy with it. I just use the regular machine hose without anything attached to the end. More suction that way. I've often found lots of lint under the throat plate so just snap it out vacuum and snap it back in. Works for me.

You can get vacuums for cleaning computers and electronics. They are small to get into the smaller spaces.

I have had a micro vacumn I bought many years ago to clean between the keys and peddles on my organ. Works great on my machines. computer and those little places on my windows that catch everything.

My husband went to Harbor Freight and bought me my own compressor to blow out my machines. It works!

I just bought a small vacuum cleaner from nancy's notions for this but the attachments on it aren't very small either. I'm disappointed because that's obviously what they sell it for, but they won't even fit down into my bobbin area enough to suck anything out. I haven't decided yet if I want to return it (will cost me $$ because I'd have to pay to ship it back I'm sure plus not get shipping I already paid back) or try to tape something on it that will take smaller attachments. The way it is now, the hose end is not even round (it's a moon shape) so I can't use my existing tiny attachments on it. My attachments won't fit on my regular vacuum cleaner either.

I thought that you shouldn't blow air into it or you risk forcing the dust in even deeper. I know I read that somewhere...

I use a small vacuum attachment from Clotide.
Also take it apart when it is really dirty and use the compressor to blow it all out.

You should not use air to blow out lint in your sewing machine. It may work on computers but you could be forcing the lint into area's that could cause you further problems. Vacuums are the best way to get that lint out.

Yes. I have one. It attaches to your regular vac. A big nuisance to drag out the big one all the time, so I only use mine occasionally. Marge
