My best tip is to tape a card or post a note with contents of container to an end of the container for at a glance searching. I have various sizes and styles of containers so not all coordinated.

There are several square rotating mats available to buy the Martelli Roundabout is the best I have used. I found mine on sale a few years ago. I would pay full price though if I had to replace it for any reason. Martelli has a big sale every so often so keep up with that.

I also like my Martelli rotating set up. Cut mat and iron pad. And yesterday I saw they came out with a 10” set up. Much better size to sit next to machine for easy iron or square!
I do have some specialty rulers that may never get used!
I purchase a lot of little snip scissors and cast them aside fast. Cant seem to find a pair that fits me and cuts!

After reading all the comments about the rotating mat, it seem the square ones aren't as good as the round ones. I looked at some on Amazon and can see that unless the mat is lined up with the base, it won't support the corner. I also see where the Martelli one has a replaceable mat. So even though it is more costly investment in the front end, it would be better in the long run. I'll have to watch for sales.
