I love those doughnut shaped bobbin holders, much better than the mess my bobbins were always in.

I have one of the bobbin holders and made a small pincushion to fit in the middle. Glued it into the donut hole. It works great for me.

I googled the Bernina Swiss Army knife..Wow, that looks interesting, but pricey. ($130. US) I'd take one as a gift from my husband or kids.

I love my extra-long handled bent nose tweezers, especially for turning skinny tubes and for poking out corners.

I always have my seam guage, ripper, scissors and magnetic pin holders right next to my machine.

I use it to poke the cat, lol. Well, not really - it is used for the "usual."

What a great idea. I'm going to try and make one too. Thanks for the idea.
My favorite tool is a spring action thread clipper. It is SHARP, small and has a curved blade at the tip. It is perfect for cutting threads when doing machine embroidery. I have one for each machine and 1 in my handsewing basket. It is called Tweezer Snips with Curved blades.
