At a recent meeting of our local Cedar Rapids Area American Sewing Guild several members demonstrated the tricks and uses of various pressure feet for the sewing machine. I have a Husqvarna Viking® - the 140th Anniversary limited edition - The Tribute 140C. The special offer included many accessories including extra presser feet. The storage section that fits on the back of the machine platform is not handy, in my opinion. However, during the demonstration of the pressure feet one of the demonstrators showed how she stored her pressure feet and kept them organized. While most of them have a "letter" on the foot - that letter is difficult to read. Other specialty feet do not have any markings, only a small folded paper that shows the foot and give the use in VERY fine print. So this storage solution seemed to fit the need.
At the Dollar Tree I found these storage containers with lids. Online one has to purchase in bulk but most Dollar Tree Stores in our area have the square containers.
On the tops of each one I marked the letter of the foot, and an indication of the intended use. My sewing machine guide book provides extended notes about the use of the pressure feet.
The most difficult part was finding a storage spot for the containers once the feet were in them etc. But they fit nicely in the corner of the Fat Quarter drawer in the sewing room. They will be handy - won't fall over.
The demonstration of pressure feet was excellent - but appreciated this side sewing tip and idea as well.
