Well, for starts I have a TV tray sitting there to hold all my paraphernalia. On that sits a little two sided plastic container with my "stuff".
1. seam ripper
2 .pack of needles (for when I run over them pesky pins)
3. regular foot for when I have to do HST and stuff you cant do with a 1/4 "
foot
4. my "Purple Thang"
5. brush for cleaning out the machine (try to do every time I change bobbins)
6. cup of coffee or glass of sweet tea
7. usually have scissors hangin' around my neck
8. my little screw driver to take off the cover to clean my machine
9. an extra wound bobbin
If I left anything out, can't think of right off hand.
