I use the "banana" rack to hold my large spools and it stands behind my machine.
I use those cute little toe "spreaders" for when you paint your toes to put bobbins in and it holds them great.
I use empty prescription pill bottles with a hole in the top to put old needles.
I use hair clips to keep the binding in place while I sew. The ones at Walmart etc are cheaper than buying in LQS's.
Also use the freezer paper for any patterns I buy thru SImplicity etc because they last longer and don't tear. Keeps the pattern pieces like new.
I use old cans I collect to keep things like "velcro", Tape" Safety PIns" etc. Label each with tape and write on it. Then they stack on a shelf neatly adn I can see what I need.
This is a great post. I am learning alot. Thank you
