At-a-glance organization

This multifunctional Sewing Machine Foot Organizer keeps your small notions, such as presser feet, bobbins, scissors, thread, and needles, in order. Each tool can have its own section in one of the 15 clear zippered pockets, where you can always find it quickly. The organizer stays closed with a hook-and-loop tape tab, so it can travel or be placed neatly in a drawer or on a shelf for storage. It also works well as a project bag: Place all the small notions you need for a sewing or quilting project in it, and they are ready to use when you need them.
