Everything that you need: first and foremost: #1- the Domed Threaded Needle Case. If you look closely you can see that it contains five pre-threaded needles. I do that in the bright light of the daytime, place them in the case, dial them into their own individual slot and twist the locking lid on top to wait until they’re needed. This is a brilliant tool! #2- the Quilting Needle Threader. I assure you that I don't work for Clover Needlecraft nor do I receive compensation for recommending their products, they just put out really great tools! This needle threader is weighty, feels good in your hand, is sturdy (I've had mine for years) and has a dark piece behind the wire threader loop to help make the needle eye visible. It will aid in threading even the tiniest of needles with no problem. I wouldn't sit down and sew without either of these items! #3- I use a Wonder Clip to mark my stopping place on the binding when I'm done for the evening. #4 is a small, flat rubber needle "puller", just in case the needle gets bogged down. Rounding out the contents are matching thread, extra needles, sharp, thread scissors, a tailor's thimble and a seam ripper~ just in case.
That's it!
What’s in your tool box?
Life is Good!

Pretty terrific ideas. Plan to implement some myself. I like being efficient and organized when I work, and love your setup.
I have what I call my binding box. All necessary supplies in one place.
I have a little Lancome freebie pouch that is my hand stitching kit. Needles, small scissor, sewing "tweezer" and a surgical needleholder. (Yes, I am an OR RN). I do surgical knots for new threads. I mean, if it holds the human body together......right? ;-) I don't pin or clip. I've found it unnecessary. I do press out my binding after machining it on and it's easy to flip/hold with my finger while hand stitching.
i have a king charles shortbread tin...needles, scissors, marking pencils, thread, thimbles, pins, beeswax, surgical paper tape...yep everything i need! always have to be ready to sew!
