Does the hidden storage compartment on your sewing machine look like a tangled mess of bobbin threads, needles and pins? Or maybe it’s littered with loose presser feet and lint fibers. Mine used to be filled with extra buttons, straight pins, dull needles and bobbins before I discovered this little trick.
Like many BabyLock sewing machines, my Destiny came with this cool little treasure chest. It’s filled with all sorts of little goodies and tools needed in my everyday sewing. Think specialty feet, a cleaning brush, extra bobbins, needles and that handy screw driver. But most importantly, it comes with these cute removable trays.
At first I didn’t really pay them much mind but then I realized that they actually fit inside the hidden storage compartment…. Hello, why did I not put that together sooner?!
Hidden Storage Compartment
So, let this be a lesson, check everything that comes with your machine. The simplest thing might have a dual purpose that could change the way you stitch!
Now that I know this golden nugget of functional design exists, I feel like I need to go over my machine again with a fine tooth comb. Who knows what other amazing things they thought of for us! I’ll be sure to keep you posted on what I find out along the way!
I’ve said it before but it’s so worth repeating…..

Well, the intended use is certainly functional. However, I prefer the candy style for color… and taste. Lol I say mix M&M with M&M Peanuts.
LOL- I love that I’m not alone in the need for a sugary sweet!!

I am having constant shredding problems and some freezing problems with my Destiny II. Anybody else?
Sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues. Have you called the help line at Baby Lock? Perhaps that can help troubleshoot.

Hello Rita,
It is true that they have similar characteristics but each brand is a completely different company.
I love my serger, the air jet threading is a dream!
