when is the last time you cleaned your machine?

I cleaned this before I did a king size quilt. This fluff is all from that. I was shocked how much was there. When I took the bobbin holder out - it was a layer of felt under it too.

Yikes!
I now clean mine out after every two hours of sewing. More or less.
I remember when I first got my first machine I didn't even know you were supposed to clean it. I happen to be in a dealer's store and noticed her taking off the throat plate on a floor model that was the same as my machine.
She kindly showed me how to do it.
I went home and removed the throat plate on my machine.
And it looked worse than that picture above.
PACKED solid. No wonder it was making all kind of weird noises. :roll:

And it's one of the things I hate about my new Janome 6500. The throat plate is a PITB to get off. My Husky is a lot easier.
