There are so many things I do...
The travel size cotton swabs container is now a clear view needle storage container.
I also re-use numerous containers for projects in the works and storing UFO types.

Everything has a Ladybug sticker so I can spot my things at meetings or where ever

That is a good one I have problems with that long thread holder to. I am new tonight and someone told me to come here for advice and look I have already learned something on the first thing I read.
Thanks must read on..

That is a good one so many good ones

I like the take a picture to see what it look like. I get them flipped sometimes and end up ripping.

I cut an old mouse pad in a strip to put beside my machine to use as a pin cushion. it doesn't slide around the table, and I can take pins out as I sew and stab them at the flat cushion without looking.

I wind extra bobbins when I start a project and put them on a l-o-n-g pin on the cushion - as well as all the pins.
