You can also buy those inexpensive boxes of thin rubber gloves like the nurses use and just cut the fingertips off of them, put one on your pulling finger and leave it on, you won't have to keep stopping to pick up that piece of rubber jar lid opener.

Love some of these tips, and definitely will be using them! Thanks!
I bought a stacking small parts organizer at the local hardware store. They're usually used for nuts and bolts and such, but I use them for all my "little" stuff, like extra feet, new needles, marking chalk, and anything else that would get lost in a drawer or basket. I put labels on each "drawer" so I know what's inside.
I use little girl's pony-tail holders (the fat squishy kind) to put around my bobbins to keep the thread from wandering all over the place. They come in different colors, so I can match the color family to the thread. And, yep, I store the threaded bobbins in one of the little parts drawers, and empties in another drawer. :lol:

I have a closet shelf bars that my DH put up.....now I have a shelf and a closet rod that I have shower curtain hooks on with clippers from the dollar store to pinch on to my quilts to take a photo of and display easy....so nice I love it....
another thing was to mark my row or pieces with little white sale adhesive tags...makes a lot less reverse sewing for me...:-)

I did find out that for all you that 'use' to have a fish tank and have that clear tube for air, etc....you can cut it bobbin width...make a slit in it and it fits right over those bobbins to keep them from unraveling...forgot about that too:))I figured that out after using that hose system taped to my vacuum to suck out the dust:))LOL Skeat
