I make good use of the really cheap racks for organizing kitchen tools. I have a rack meant to hold stuff like wax paper rolls etc. hung on either side of the dresser I use for a cutting and ironing surface in my sewing room. They holds up to 8 full rolls of stabilizers. Above the dresser I have a wire rack meant to hold pan lids that holds a lot of my rulers and even a narrow cutting board. A wire rack meant to be a small dish drainer holds my dies and mats for my Baby Go machine. Most of these items were purchased either at the Dollar store or through catalogues for very little money. The drawers of the dresser hold the rest of my stabilizer supplies, especially the amounts I purchased by the yard from JoAnn's etc. I also use the wire racks meant to extend shelf space in your kitchen cupboards to maximize the surface space on the table that holds my two embroidery machines. There is a lot of vertical space that goes unused in most of our homes. Check out the Dollar stores and even the big home improvement stores for closet storage ideas. They have lots of reasonably priced items that make great sewing, quilting and embroidery storage.
