Start by removing the bobbin cover/throat plate. Using the brush that should have come with your machine, make swift upward strokes to coax all dust and lint out of the bobbin case and feed dogs. If you have a manual showing how to remove the bobbin case, remove it. If you don't have a manual, make sure you know EXACTLY how the case was originally in the machine because they can be the deuce to replace.
With bobbin case removed, again use quick strokes with your machine brush to clean out the lint. You may use a vacuum to remove the deep down lint. If you have the attachments that are small and made for cleaning keyboards etc, use one of them to gently probe into the machine for a deep cleaning. You may also use a cotton swab. Turn your handwheel toward you and wipe dust and lint from any moving parts. You may put a small amount of macine oil on a swab after removing dust. This will help to oil moving parts that are expose. DO NOT attempt to oil any hidden parts.
After cleaning the inside and bobbin case, use your brush or a clean swab and gently check the thread take up leaver and the tension discs.Remove lint and debris but do not oil this area.
This should take care of it and your machine should purr with gratitude!
