I received a little brush at one of the Quilt Retreats I attended in the past. I used it for cleaning out the bobbin area of my sewing machine. Recently, it disappeared and I really missed it.
Each time I change bobbins, I clean the lint, etc out of the bobbin case. The brush I lost made the job quick and easy.
I asked various guild people about the little brush, but nobody knew from where it came. Finally, I went searching and came up with The Gypsy Quilter: The Every Nook and Cranny Sewing Machine Cleaning Tools**. I had a hard time finding what I wanted. The key terms were “nook and cranny”!!
As soon as I got them I tried using the various tools to clean out the lint from my bobbin case. I like the different shapes of the tools, but I really don’t need all of them.
Regardless of the shape, the brushes are not quite right. They are more flexible than my previous brush. I may not have a choice in that my original brush is gone. Thus, I think that this set will have to work for me.

I have several sizes of makeup brushes that I use. I have about four different ones that I keep beside my two main machines. They attract lint very well and yet they clean off easily. Mine are like very soft brushes. They are each about 4″ long. It’s amazing how well they work and I like them a lot better than cleaning brushes that have stiff, plastic-like bristles.
Good thought! I didn’t think of makeup brushes. I’ll see about getting some to try
