connieb Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 At some point, I read here that there is a certain tip/end for the air compressor hose that we should be using to clean our machines. Did I dream this??? I can't find it when I search here. My DH has agreed to let me move his air compressor from the garage to under my table. I don't want to mess Lenni up blowing to "much" air at her but am tired of using canned air. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietlifeaz Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I just use the standard tip that came with my little compressor at 40-50 PSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningThreads Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Connie You want an inexpensive blow gun (about $5 at Harbor Tools also available Lowes or Home Depot) if your husband doesn't already have one for his compressor.

iquiltit Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 use a needle to inflate basketballs or any ball for that matter. I just insert the needle into the air hose at the end and it will clamp in. Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirleyl Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Our air compressor is bolted to the garage floor and the portable one was just too noisy. I bought a container to fill tires up at the auto parts store and my son put a hose and nozzle on it and I just go to the garage and fill it up. That way if I'm quilting and hubby is trying to watch TV or sleep as I sometimes quilt when I can't sleep, I can still blow mine out. I can put about 100 psi on the tank and it lasts me quite a while, usually a week depening on what batting, thread and fabric I'm using.

cblevins Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 That's a great idea! I hate the noise mine makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
