    I got a jewelry bag on a hanger. It has about 50 clear pockets,. Made a label for each foot and they have their own pocket. I think I got it at 5 below. works great. I have one for each machine and they are on a command hook behind or beside the machine they belong too.

    Rhonda K, thanks! I am not sure what I need this for at the moment, but I love it and just ordered it!

    I have a Janome 14000 and I found that Harbor Freight has a good selection of storage at very low prices.

    I bought one at Harbor Freight that has dividers you can customize. I especially like that it has a handle to make it easier to grab and go.!

    Wow, what great ideas, everyone.

    I have an old Bernina 1530 and one day I finally sprung for one of their expensive boxes to hold the feet in it. Boy, was I disappointed when I ran out of space and also found out that some of the feet really didn't fit into this special box. I was kicking myself for wasting the money.

    Now, I have a Janome 6600 and I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out where to put the extra feet (of which some are over-sized) to keep them readily accessable. Now I know.

    Have you thought about taking items out of the lower trays that you don't need as often and putting the feet there? Will they fit?

    I did consider just re-doing the zippered case, but had it in my head that a flat all in one type container that would hold all of them on one level (so to speak) and the Plano fishing lure boxes seem most appealing right now. But I haven't given up on that case yet. It does have some openings in the lower trays.

    Hi all....thanks for all the great ideas. I did find two Plano boxes on Amazon and have ordered them. They were pretty inexpensive and If they don't work, I can use them for my other two machines's feet. or beads, or buttons or something. LOL
    Amazon has a lot of Plano tackle boxes. I was surprised at the sheer number of them.
    Will let you know how it turns out.
    Thanks again

    Last week, Fons and Porter’s show gave a tip of using pill boxes, the kind that hold a week or so of pills. They come in many sizes and some even have slots for 21 pills.

    This one is very similar to some other storage containers that Plano (mentioned above) makes - Plano makes a variety of different size storage containers for fishing etc., and you should be able to find one that meets your needs. I wasn't certain from the original post if you were looking for one organizer to hold everything or simply something additional to store the add-ons...
    Good luck!
