I have gotten most of the things mentions before, but , I also bought a magnetic bar (about 15 inches long & about 1 inch wide) that I attached to the bottom of my pegboard. Then I just stick my tweezers, scissors, screwdriver, etc. to it. Make it so much easier to get to them. Very, very handy. As mentioned before, don't mount them to close to your computerized sewing machine. I love just going in & wandering around & using my imagination, to see what will be useful in my sewing room. YEAH, Harbor Freight!!!

I got one of the magnetic bars, too. When screws want to go flying off my bench it catches them. Then yesterday I got a lift for picking up sewing machines it was on sale and 20% off I hope it works.

LOL< when we go to HF, My DH goes His way and I go mine. I like gadgets and am always finding things there I can use in my sewing room. I have all that have been named, lol...always looking for more.

I bought a rolling bag for my sewing machine at Harbor Freight. It has an retractable/extending handle like luggage. Carefully check the base dimensions of your sewing machine though - my older machine fits perfectly, my newer computerized one is too large!
It was available with a second "tool" bag that worked well for all the "extras" like scissors, etc. -- my DH has borrowed that one.
I think the two pieces were $30 range but they have 20% off coupons in nearly every ad.

When I bought my featherweight without a case, I bought a tool box at HF that it fits perfectly in, also a suction cup handle to attach to my rulers.

Plastic boxes like you'd buy for matchbox cars, only cheaper at Harbor Freight. They are perfect for spools of thread. I've had good luck with the rug cutting blades. Small metal bowl for holding pins etc. Lots of good things at HF.

Hi, do be careful buying magnetised trays, they can have bad effects on computorised machines, as for the rest , go for it. Letty x
