I use a parts cabinet/drawers like this one from Harbor Freight. You'll find plenty of uses for the extra sizes. Other sizes re available from Walmart or the hardware store.
Storehouse 94375 40 Bin Organizer with Full Length Drawer |
Hi everyone! I use small inexpensive tackle boxes. I have multiple machines that frequently travel with me. I label the tackle box as to machine and make sure manuals and any other "tweaking" notes stay in the box. If I have a foot that I have attended a class on or have found a great website/video on, I make sure the notes on where to find that info get stashed in the box with the machine's manual. For my machines that are stubborn about bobbins I add small plastic organizers also inexpensively purchased in sporting goods sections, think dollar store,larger department store. The best organizers I have found are bait buckets with divided sections on the lids. These allow me to carry projects/mending with me easily while keeping machine specific feet and tools readily available. I rarely use those little boxes that come with machines, I dump them on the floor too often!! I do have one notebook like carrier with see through pockets for my Viking embroidery machine. But I love my tackle boxes!

I have a large skinny drawer that mis part of my cabinet that I keep my feet in in their originol boxes. no more room so I can't buy anymore. But I think I have enoguh. They are Berrnina feet so they fit all the machines I have had over the years.

I have a small cabinet where the top drawer I keep my feet. Basically, I use my 1/4" and walking foot the most.
|
I use clear fishing tackle boxes with dividers in each one. The are flat, stack nicely, and all items can be seen easily.
|
I purchased a box with dividers designed for fishing supplies from Walmart. It is slightly larger than a child's pencil box and it has removeable dividers. I'm certain that this box cost me less than $4.00. All of my Bernina feet fit including my walking foot and my stitch regulator.

I'm thinking maybe a clear plastic bead storage box but then knowing how clever the members on this forum are I thought I'd ask for your advice. That is exactly what i use. I use a asharpie to mark the lids. It will wipe off but no big deal. Sandy |
Each machine has it's own plastic pencil box with all accessories in it. Some machines have larger boxes, like the embroidery machine but they are all marked with machine make and model it goes to.

I have a silverware holder in my drawer and divide the feet accordingly
