Great idea, Jan. I have one of those fat rubber bands on the slick knob on my sewing machine (the one that manually runs the machine). I don't use that knob often, but, when I do, the rubber band gives me some grip.

I store my Pigma pens in a mug, my number 5 and 8 balls of thread in a basket and I use a square empty tissue box to coral my roll binding when I am sewing it on. I just place the box on the floor near my right foot.

Got sheets for Christmas last year. I reused the plastic zipper case they came in to hold my pineapple square while I'm making them. Got sheets for Christmas this year. Using the plastic zipper case to hold 2 1/2" squares for the quilt I'm working on now.
The fat rubberband from broccoli I keep with my hand quilting stuff. I use this when the needle gets stuck. I can pull it thru easier with that and don't have to buy those little red circles.
The heavy shoe boxes that sneakers come in, I have my cone threads in them. One box I'm using to hold the strips for the pineapple quilt. I only work on the pineapple when I don't have other things that need to be done. Taking a long time.
Have been using the case boxes from Girl Scout cookies for years to hold my patterns. Good thing it cookie time here, I need another box.
