Cleaning bobbin area of a Brother SE350

[sulevia]

Hi, I am new to embroidery and Brother. I have read many times that I need to keep the bobbin area clean of lint and thread. My problem is that the bobbin is drop in and I can't see how I can get below it to see if there is lint there. Anybody have this type of machine and can help me with what to do? I have been enjoying reading the questions and answers the information has been very helpful.

There should be 2 screws on the plate that the feed dog comes up through... if you remove those screws you can remove the entire unit that the bobbin sits in to clean it. I just wipe it out with a tissue...and use tweezers to remove any thread pieces that are left behind. `Then just put the bobbin housing back in reattach the plate and you should be good to go !
