Eeew! I got all this out of my machine, and I know I cleaned it out before I started quilting my last quilt!
If the lint was the same color as my thread I would think I had used extra linty thread - where did all of this come from?
I vacuumed it out with my tiny vacuum attachments, and put a drop of oil on the wick.
Now it is all clean and ready for the next project. **And I have a picture for future reference if something ever comes off and I don't know where it goes!
I do a no-no thing and open the bottom part of the arm, too. I do a deep clean after every major project.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the lint color, either. It doesn't match my thread.
I quilt my own, so I am assuming it's the natural accumulation of dust on thread, fabric, and batting (despite keeping it all under cover). Plus bits of batting fibers.
