It is wonderful to have 2 machines going at once, but I now have troubles finding my scissors. When I had 1 machine they were always next to it. Now I move from one side to the other I can not find them. I have tried tieing them round my neck with a cord, but I stab myself contstantly. Anyone has a solution?

I keep losing my scissors so I keep buying more!! I still can't find one!! LOL

I keep my scissors on a long coil keyring from the dollar store. It has a clip on it and I hook one with a scissors to each of my machines and ironing board. It hangs there and will stretch to wherever I want to go.

I have both my machines next to each other so that I can get to everything when I'm at any of the machines. It makes it much easier.
I am now trying to get 2 of each thread so that I don't have to wait to do the colour changes.

hi Lique, I'm such a mess, I have scissors all over the place :-) The ones with ribbons can cut anything, including paper. The others are for cutting anything fabric, and then I have screwdrivers too, for hoops. I have to have enough of everything that I'm bound to find something that cuts what I need cut whereever I look. It's all a big mess till I clean up between projects and then start all over again. I can't find my best pair of fabric scissors right now, but they will show up eventually - I hope!

Buy a second pair.

I have a pair by each machine and have them connected via a lanyard to the sewing machine power cord, which I can separate them from temporarily if I really really need to.

The biggest problem I have is I take the scissors and a pair of tweezers to the table to trim threads etc and then sit back at the machine only to find they are still on the table.

Two pairs of scissors?? Sarah.

I keep a seam ripper, scissors (usually 2 sizes) and tweezers at my machine and serger. (I have several pairs of tweezers as I got one with my serger and I got some from a $ store.)

I have three items 4 actually, next to each machine or combo workstation, Tweezers, small applique or straight scissors, screen stylus. The fourth is reading glasses, primarily to thread needles manually. The fifth required piece is a seam ripper, which I have at least 7 and still have to LOOK for one! It is not much money for quite a bit of piece of mind. Live Laugh Download Stitch!

I bought a second pair of scissors for my second machine. It works wonderful - since it is always right there and saves me a bunch of time.***

I went to the hardware store and bought me a canvas nail bag. It ties to my waist. I put all my supplies in there and they stay with me :)

I went with the additional pair for the additional machine - so much easier.

I have had this problem in the past too & I ended buying a new pair & then I liked the new pr sew much I kept using it & had the same problem all over again! LOL Good luck my friend Hugs Loralye

I found it easiest to buy a second pair.

I have four machines and it was making me crazy. So I just finally bought 4 of everything I needed...seam rippers, scissors, tweezers etc. Got a little plastic tray to set by the machine to keep everything in. Got a small tote type carrier to put things in like rulers, straight pins,etc. that I could pick up and carry between machines as needed. It got rid of one small aggravation in life!

I have one at each machine and I make sure I use it there and not move it from one machine to another, i fiI do move it when Im busy I make sure I put it back again. hugs geeta

Get a second pair and tie or leave one at each machine. I'm a pocket person so I usually have a top with a shirt pocket to stash things in so my little scissors usually go into the shirt pocket (they are in a protective case).

I made an apron for my machines, and added a ribbon for the small scissors.This way they are always there.
