I do the same thing. It's the perfect size for all the accessories for my machines.

MDQuilter, you really sound organised, I envy you.

Lol! I have to actually PUT the patterns IN the sleeves...which I do about 37% of the time. But the theory is sound.

Graph paper and colored pencils! Nothing beats drawing out a quilt design by hand at first. I love BTS!

I also stock up on the washable glue. Erasers, pencils, binders, whatever I see a use for. Much cheaper during this time of year.

I just picked up miniture binder clips. I use these to hand sew on my bindings.

Just about all of the above...the sheet protectors are great too..sometimes I use the Seal a Meal and to make 2 or 4 pockets for squares or rectangles of the same size..the top is already open and I just carefully slit below the center seam to open the bottom ones.

I bought Elmer's school glue, Elmer's glue sticks, washable markers, blunt nosed scissors and three reams of computer paper so I'm set for a while.
