			<description><![CDATA[I taped an empty short cone spool (like from Coates-Clark rayon thread) to my table next to machine. I use the veritcle hole to hold my (Clover) tapered awl. I can grab the awl without looking when I need it. I also magnetize the awl to "grab" pins as I sew along, then scrape the pins into a magnetized dish!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This shouldn't need to be said, but if you are sewing at a friend's house, don't leave her a huge mess when you go. My SIL thinks she is Eleanor Burns and tosses scraps and threads over her shoulder or drops them on the floor when she snips them. UM, hello, this is my house, not your's or Eleanor's, for that matter. I've even offered her a scrap bag and she says, "Well, you were going to have to sweep anyway." Please respect your host.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I use 3 old Pringle (crisp) tins covered with fabric for my small electric tools, mini iron, stencil cutter and heat gun. That way they can be stored hot/warm end first into the metallic lined interior to take back home after a workshop and then the cable folded down inside when it has cooled! I can send pic if you like!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[:-* I use an empty Truvia (artificial sweetener) jar. It is rather short and squat and fits into my top sewing. drawer. The whole top of the lid flips open and it's so easy to drop in spent rotary blades, pins, needles.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I use the sharps container just like I did as an RN at the hospital. They can be purchased over the counter for less than $6.00. Easy to recognize where to put your sharps and disposal is identified by your container for the refuse managers and workers.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I use a round Republic of Tea tea tin to safely hold 'sharps' for disposal. The round tea tin has a tight fitting lid and it is big enough to hold rotary cutter blades. I poke a small hole in the lid with an awl and can put worn or broken needles or bent unusable pins with small heads through the hole in the lid without removing it. It is very safe, and the tea tin holds so much that I'll probably be dead before I have to empty it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Throwing plastic pill containers in the garbage? How irresponsible! They go in the recycling bin, not the garbage can. You can take needles to a drugstore and ask to have them put into tbe sharps container that's used for syringes.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[for used needle disposal, I drilled a hole in the lid of an old pill bottle. I keep it by my machine and can drop a used needle in it any time. when I'm ready to toss it, I'll put a piece of tape over the hole!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I save my old needles in a small metal tin. When its time to place pictures on the wall, out comes the tin and a small hammer. The sharp point on the needle goes through the sheet rock with ease. Needle on a 45 degree angle hammer up to the wide part of the needle if the picture is large use two needles. Time to change pictures, pull the needles out , you will find the hole smaller than a nail, full with a wee bit of tooth paste.]]></description>
