Machine Presser Feet Organization
#11
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.

This is also a favorite with our group. It opens like a book. Again add your labels to each compartment. Works well for all the small feet as it contains everything if you accidentally drop it. This system won't hold any of the larger feet though.

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

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.

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
