Also, I use a tool box for quilt guild and UFO days. Here are photos of my best idea for transporting my quilting gear.
I have one of these for each machine and tool boxes for other projects. Tackle boxes are also better than sewing boxes to hold the small stuff. I use a metal make - up suitcase which has multiple shelves, for my hand embroidery.
