One essential accessory in my opinion and one I always recommend to my students is to buy a nice sewing box with plenty of little compartments for all the bits and bobs that sewists accumulate over time. If you’ve a tendency to be disorganized like me, sewing boxes are crucial. They will save you a lot of money in the long run as you’ll lose less items. They’ll also save you a lot of frustration.

Sewing machine accessories will make your life much easier. You don’t need to buy all the sewing machine accessories out there, many of them are not needed in my opinion. But there’s some sewing machine accessories which I consider essential to productive sewing.

Feet are one of the essential sewing machine accessories I would recommend. There are different feet for different specialist jobs, and while I wouldn’t recommend  buying more feet until you become a little more experienced. As your experience grows you will realise that you need different feet for some sewing jobs. Changing the feet is a part of sewing.
