My beloved Janome 11000 was acting up. Believe me when I say that this is very rare behavior for her. She NEVER gives me trouble. I typically clean her out very quickly every Sunday, but I guess I have missed a few cleaning sessions....Wow. I nearly choked when I unscrewed the needle plate and found this nest beneath it! Really, it did seem like just yesterday that I cleaned her out.... When was the last time YOU lifted your needle plate and gave your machine a good dusting and a thorough vacuuming? And while I am at it, when was the last time you changed your sewing machine needle? Just like a good man, a good sewing machine needs a little attention and love once in awhile. Make today the day!

Wow, that's some lint ball you have working there, Sunshine !~! Thanks for the timely reminder...
I started quilting on a Janome. That baby would let me know real fast if she needed cleaning! I wish my Bernina were that vocal!
wow that is impressive Flori!!! I remember the summer my mother was sewing my wedding dress, her machine was acting up so she took it to the local sewing shop for a tune up and the lady told her there was so much lint inside it had turned to felt! too funny!
