I'm pretty anti clutter when sewing as I hate retrieving things that fall behind the sewing cabinet. Also, my sewing machine cabinet has a reachable drawer with just about anything I need. Seam ripper & small scissors end up sitting on right side of machine. My ironing board with Big Board sits to the right side of my sewing cabinet where I have a cutting mat iron & magnetic pin tray when quilting. You can't have magnets too close to computerized machines.
