HINT! Before you start your next project take the needle plate off your machine. I found a family of dust bunnies living under mine. See what you can find. Bev

I will have to check mine............does that mean they grow when you are not using it?????

No , the lint and fuzz builds up from fabric,thread etc and just collects over time. Check it often and dont give it a chance to collect. Have a great day

Bev, I am so sorry you had dust bunnies - I clean mine very often - as I stitch so many different things out - mine doesn't have time to grow. *4U

I do have plans to clean it more often now that I know what can grow under there. YUCK!

Hee hee hee, that big? I usually only get dust mice. It's a little machine, hee hee hee. Yeah, I run the vac on it regularly. Um, do be careful with that, I sucked the little oiler felt out of my bobbin race, and it can't be replaced. I just have to oil more often now. Thanks for the reminder! Hugs, Marji

Great Tip, Bev...I usually take mine off EVERY time I dust out the bobbin case!!!
