    Default Binding clips, which size?

    I am shopping for the clips for binding. I know Clover makes Wonder Clips. They seem to come in Jumbo or mini sizes.. which sizes are the best for quilting? I don't make super large quilts. Also I am seeing some clips made by another company too, are they any better/worse/affordable?
    Thank you for your input, much appreciated.

    I have the standard size, never needed anything larger. Thought about getting a package of the larger ones just to have, but I decided on another package of the standard instead.

    I used to use hair clips, but I love my Clover Wonder chips. I have the small ones and they are just right!

    I bought some from Amazon there was 50 small & 20 jumbo
    in 5 colors (red, pink, purple, blue & green). Cost was $9.99.

    No they are NOT the Clover brand, but they work just as good
    in my opinion.

    Here is a link to the ones I purchased. I DO plan to buy more.

    This looks like a good deal. I don't recall what my Clover clips cost, but it was more than this, and I had a 40% of coupon too. That was several years ago. Perhaps they are not as costly now.

    I have the small Clover clips and use them a lot. I got a couple of the jumbo clips as a handout at a quilt show but have never found a need for them and don't even know where they are.

    The other brand weren't available when I bought the Clover. If I was in the market now I'd try the less expensive ones. I've seen good reviews, including Quilty-Louise.

    Yes, the small clips, and yes, look for clips other than Clover for a good deal. I've got a few different brands as as far as I'm concerned, they all work exactly the same.
