I often clean out the lint each time I sit down and sew, lately,<br />Also, I find that q-tips can be handy to use instead of a brush, as the lint just sticks to them like a miniature lint-roller!Michelle in Saskatoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341966725995063051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575227229193240343.post-5480104774144761582011-03-08T08:15:03.357-06:002011-03-08T08:15:03.357-06:00Thanks for the reminded.

I do this every time I make a new bobbin. It's amazing how much lint can collect with the different threads and fabric! I also put a drop of oil in every so often as well. Regular maintenance is so important and I agree with Vrooman's Quilts comment, that most people don't do it!
