Well, yeah, they are BINDING clips, not basting clips---I still use safety pins to baste.

OH I see
I just sew my binding on and miter the corners then turn it and hand sticith the rest.I bet the clips would make it easier.Thanks.

THANK YOU. JUST ORDERD ONE, PLUS EXTRA CLIPS.

I haven't seen those before. I use the ones that look like hair slips. I saw the booth in Paducah but didn't stop because I thought they would be to expensive. Wish I'd stopped now. Maybe next year.

I'm on blood thinners so can't afford to get pinned lol.

I think if you use the hair clips, you'll find they'll do what you want. . I use them all the time & just love them. They also come off easily as I work my way around the binding. Just ck the hair dept at Wal Mart. I don't see the need to pay so much for other things that are really the same thing. Try it & see what you think.
