These (3 to a pack) 3M clothespin clips work great for keeping my small seam ripper and stiletto handy on my machine. Purchase these at your nearest hardware or stationary shop. Beware that they can come apart easily when I have put my machine in the travel bag, so I am very careful when putting and taking my machine out of the travel bag, and I remove the seam ripper and stiletto prior to travel so they do not catch on anything.
