I have one of those stacked plastic drawers that are in different colors (Costco usually gets them in during January). I sort all the little things into drawers organizing things by color. I also have one of those pink totes that came out a couple of years ago -- I carry that between machines with things like seam rippers, small rotary cutters that I use as seam rippers, scissors, etc. The only place I have duplicates of all my small tools is in the kit I take to quilt classes. If I don't put things back I know I won't be able to find them.
