Tutorial: Make a pipe cleaner brush to clean your sewing machine

I am not very good at cleaning out my sewing machine, but every now and then I look inside and see all the lint that needs removing. Heather from The Sewing Loft shows how you can make a pipe cleaner brush to clean your sewing machine. The little brush is super easy to make, and it does wonders at removing the lint from your sewing machine. It’s also great for sergers, since you can bend the pipe cleaner if you need so you can get to the harder to reach parts.
