I used the plastic boxes for organizing projects and the small ones to keep bobbins in. I have small boxes for each machine. One for Aurafil thread and one for other thread. I use a pencil box to keep the hand sewing tools in for my hexie project so I can take it along. I also use some of their desk accessories to hold/organize pens, seam rippers, glue sticks and other items. I bought a cool wicker organizer at a garage sale for a dollar that holds a lot of these items, too. I also use the Office Depot accordion file to hold the paper work on my machines, irons, lamps, etc so I have it all in one place.
