Ah. Always a solution! I have a regular style 5' banquet table. Some things slide, others don't. I am limited space so FMQ'ing..this would totally be in the way when I do that. I am not that great at it yet and haven't figured out all the tricks of that trade!

Any suggestions on how to make this so it sits to the end of the machine instead of right in front? I guess the issue would be something to hold it down...in this case the machine. but to the end of the machine...what would hold it to the table. What I am trying to do is have on "basket" for the spool threads and feet I use for the quilt I am working on. I change from cotton to poly threads and color of threads etc and to hold the bobbins I have wound for that quilt. My machine is annoying in that to wind a bobbin, you have to unthread the whole machine, wind the bobbin and then rethread the whole machine! So I wind several of the colors I am using so I dont' have to unthread the machine so often.
I Dont' need the caddy "right there in front" but to the side is better and then have one just at the end of the machine to drop the little scissors in I use for clipping threads.
