I don't have a lot of space to the right of my machine, but to the right rear I have a StaplesŪ Mesh Rotary Organizer, 8-Compartments. It hold lots of pens, markers, scissors, rotary cutters, measuring tape ( I use a contractor's small metal tape) tweezers hang on the lip, long handled ripper, small screw driver, labels, old rx bottle for DOA needles, etc. Best investment I ever made. Directly to the right (only about 4 inches) I keep scraps to use as leaders and enders like Marianne Fons.
