I made myself a "quilter's apron". Made a short bib apron with a row of different sized pockets along the bottom. I use those pockets to keep all the tools I use while I'm machine quilting - extra bobbins, seam ripper (yes, I make mistakes), tweezers, small artist's paintbrush (every time I change the bobbin I use this to clean the bobbin case area and the feed dog area), marking pencil, etc. Hang my small scissors around my neck, pin a piece of batting to the bib to stick pins in and I am set. It saves me a lot of frustration looking for my tools all the time.
