I use a Plano tackle box from Bass Pro Shop. I lay it flat and the clear top lid unsnaps. The bottom is green and it unsnaps also. I have marking pens, pencils, pens, presser feet, bobbins and bobbin thread, rippers, small folded bags for threads while at class, roll of scotch tape for the bag, extra pins, etc in the top. The bottom has different scissors, pin cushion with pins, rotary cutter, magnification glasses in a glass case, etc. You can unsnap one and leave the other one snapped and open them as needed. Have tried many different kinds and this works for me. It holds everything I need and probably more.
