Love magnetic car parts bowls for pins and needles.
By the way, love the pool noodle tip!
And this pathetic but right now I'm extremely 1/4 seam challenged. Solution? 3" square ceramic tile taped to the bed of the featherweight at exactly 1/4". Sort of overkill but it was close to hand and it's working...
This one reminded me of what I used for my sewing classes (and I still use at home sometimes). I used the tiny Post-It note pads and split them into halves or thirds. Adhere it to the machine bed at 1/4", 1/2", 5'8" or whatever seam width you desire. When the "sticky" part wears out, just peel off the bottom sheet and re-apply.
