I use a "Hotwheels" type car box to store my extra feet in. I use them for storing thread also. They used to be easier to find. I try to keep them in numerical order so they are easy to find when I need to use one.

I bought a plastic box with dividers at Harbor Freight, it works well for me. I labeled each section for each foot.

I have a metal strip on the wall and little magnetic boxes.

I have a small fishing lure box that is 2 sided from Wmart, it even holds my walking foot and free-motion one too.

how 'bout wearing a shirt with pockets so you could store your feet in them while you are sewing. another idea is to make a "free-standing" pocket and add fabric or cording to wear around your neck like a necklace. that way, the feet will stay close but not in the way.

so many great ideas. I'm leaning towards the magnetic strip, thank you all for your responses! If you come up with any more feel free to post. I won't be going into town for shoppin till after the holidays!

I did not like the Bernina box so I traded it back to the dealer for some bobbins and an extra foot. I use the square plastic case that pins come in. I label the case 1/4 " foot, etc. etc. exception is walking foot which I keep in a larger square box. I keep all of this in a another clear box that is not too large but deep enough to hold the plastic cases. Works great for me.

I just recently purchased a hanging jewelry storage - the large flat thing with several plastic pouches sewn onto both sides. The pouches (pockets) are made of clear, see-through, plastic and are varied sizes. I have this hanging on the peg board wall my dh made a while back...very convenient as my feet are all in one place and visible. A small stick-on file folder label tells me which one is which!

This is a great idea - Ikea sells the whole set-up for only a couple of dollars - great for pins, snaps.... all the little things that you need easy access to.
