I have a smaller one with my pins in and a larger one for my scissors, seam ripper, 6 in ruler, bobbins, and a couple of spare sewing machine needles. they are right where I can find them if I need them. I bought 2 sets of them (1 large and 2 small) for $5 on clearance at my local TSC store. also have an extending magnetic holder that I use if I drop any pins and can't find them. that was about $3. I gave one small holder to my youngest who is quilting too now, and gave the other set to dh so he wouldn't try to steal mine. He took my extending wand claiming it was his so I bought another one and put my name on it. Told him no way taking this one too.
