    Thanks for the info. I too, have been looking at these and wondering if they were worth the money.

    You can buy mini vacuums. Amazon has them.

    I have the vacuum attachments & love them. I attach them to a hand held vacuum instead of hauling my big vac to my sewing room. I was told by the fellow that services my machine to never use a compressor to blow the lint out because it gets blown into the innards of machines.

    many many years ago, i bought a kit to vacuum my computer parts... i rarely use it for the same reason... getting out the big vacuum. i'll have to look into a smaller dedicated vacuum. i clean out my long arm with a long handled artist's brush... works pretty good

    interesting thread. I too have been looking. I bought a hand held at a resale shop that works but does not get all the lint. I will look into these attachments.

    These attachments won't work with a metric/European machine- don't fit my Miele, for example, but work great on the lightweight cheapy I have!

    Yes, they work. Do Not use air to blow out lint. What you wind up doing is sending lint and dirt, etc, into the heart of the sewing machine. Then it's a trip to the sewing machine dealer to fix the problems blowing air into your machine causes.

    I have put a piece of panty hose over the hose and use the regular attachements, but it is next to impossible to get in some areas, will look for this attachment. I have central vac, so it would be easy to attach to hose, ideally when I vacuum the carpet, I could do the machine, too.
