One more thing on a vastly different topic: Is it OK to clean my sewing machine with the aide of a spray can of air, or not? Would love your opinion!!!

No no no to canned air. What does canned air do? blast whatever you are trying to get rid of further into the nooks and crannies of the machine. never! hope your fur baby gets a manageable diagnosis and gives you lots more love!
I have previously used canned air to clean the fluff out of my machine. I have never asked my machine mechanic, but I belive that they recommend you suck fluff out with the vacuum cleaner. Its just tricky to get the fluff to blow out off the nooks and crannies. Sometimes it is easier to use tweezers for the bigger bits and pick them out first, then blow clean.
I have a Bernina and canned air is NOT recommended. It just pushes the lint farther back into your machine and can do harm to it. It is better to use a small attachment to your vacuum and suck the lint out.
Your quilt is really looking good.
I also say no to canned air, for the above reasons, a good brush usually gets into all the nooks and crannies, and does the job. In 16 years of longarming, a brush is all I have used, to clean the lint and I have done LOTS of quilts in that time.
I have to agree with the previous comments - definitely no canned air,especially if your machine is a newer model, not one of the old vintage Singer models. Your version of Sweet Land of Liberty is looking great!
What you are making up is working well.
👎🏼 Thumbs down on canned air. Use a small vacuum with a piece of panty hose secured to the tube.
Poor Rosie! What a blessing that she found your loving home several years ago and that you will now lovingly be with her on her journey.
Pipe cleaners work well. Unplug machine, of course. Lint sticks to pipe cleaner. Hope Rosie feels better soon.
Love the plaids you added! Good to have clear ideas for parts of the design. Poor Rosie! Hope she isn’t suffering—I’m sure you won’t let that happen. We’re about to have DD’s cat for three weeks, it may be an interesting time with our cat!
Oh, Julie, I'm so sorry to hear about Rosie's health problem. We love our pets just like our human family members. I hope her ultrasound shows a benign mass that can be removed and she can get back to her healthy self quickly.
Your Freedom quilt looks great!
O sweet Rosie. I'm so sorry to hear that she's sick. It is so heartbreaking when our fur creatures don't feel well. I hope you get answers soon and the wisdom to know how to help her best. Prayers for healing and comfort.
I use my my vacuum cleaner attachment to suck the lint from my machine. I also use a pipe cleaner every time I change bobbins.
Liberty is looking great!
I hope Rosie's results are not so bad as they are thinking.
Hoping for the best for your puppy (all dogs are puppies to me, no matter how old). NO! Use a brush to clean out the dust, etc from your machine. Only AFTER a good cleaning with a brush, can you use canned air. The air can jam the lint further into your machine, causing more problems. I use new, unused makeup brushes to clean out the lint on my machines. They work great.
I am sorry to hear about your sweet dog. Pets are so loving.
Your freedom quilt is WONDERFUL! I love that you are doing stars down the right side instead of square in a square blocks. I have mine laid out and decided, but not really started for March.
I love your star border. It is very striking. I am leaning toward flying geese all the way around. I think they are a cute frame. I plan too use my square in a square blocks elsewhere ad the quilt dictates.
