Tip Of The Week
While compressed or canned air might seem like a quick way to clean your sewing machine, it can actually force dust and lint deeper into the machine’s interior, potentially causing more harm than good. A better option is to use a vacuum attachment with a fine nozzle or a soft lint brush, which are designed to pull debris out rather than push it further in. These gentle tools help keep your machine cleaner and running smoothly.
Be sure to stop in and see our latest arrival at the shop—the Sonic Power Mini Vacuum!
