Cleaning Bobbins.We use Neb bobbins (the clear plastic-sided ones) and very
seldom ever have lint in our bobbins or bobbin area. However, to clean them,
we just slide a piece of paper or tip of a business card under the spring metal
area. In nearly 3 years, we have had very little lint to deal with.

Subject: [amayausers] Cleaning Bobbins.
How do y'all clean bobbins? I have discovered wonderful nests of lint built
up under the spring metal on the bobbins and so I've taken to cleaning them
after replacing every 2 or 3 bobbins. But that takes so long, even though I
will clean several while one is sewing and get those ready to just pop in when
one runs dry.
Here is my cleaning procedure, any comments, hints, etc?
I cut a narrow piece of tear-away cap backing, because it is thick and stiff,
and use it to slide under the spring metal on the bobbin, removing the
beautiful lint nests. Once those are all gone, I use a little bit of isopropyl
alcohol on the backing and work it back and forth cleaning everywhere real
good. Then follow that with a blast of canned air. Then I rebuild it with a
bobbin, adjust it and get it ready to use.
Thanks!
