What do you use your wonder clips for?

I also use them for binding. Another use is when I am cutting the fabrics for a project and identify by writing on a sticky note where the piece or section is to be used by clipping the note to the piece of cut fabric such as: top pocket on a purse, front panel, etc.). Another use is when making the windows for IDs on billfolds and you aren't able to use pins on the clear plastic window in assembling the billfold or purse.

I use them for MANY things. I have 4 small and 2 large clipped
to my purse in case I need a clip.
Another use I have is for my iPod ear buds I like the kind that has
the on/off mic built into the cord, and I only use one ear bud most
of the time so the other is tucked inside my shirt. I use the clip to
keep the button at the top of my shirt so I can easily start/stop my
audiobooks that I am listening too.
So many uses that I have found them to work great for, but my brain
is still sleep foggy and I can't think of them all right now.

I'm not at all creative. I only use mine to hold the binding in place for hand sewing. I do love them for that purpose. I now have 200 Wonder clips. My LAQ usually returns 3 quilts at a time. I have almost enough clips to get them all ready for hand sewing.

I use mine instead of straight pins - holding pieces in place while sewing, and sewing the binding. I have even used them to keep piece of a block together before I sew it. You never know when you will need them - so I keep them handy.

Like Silver Needle I use them to attach all of my binding to be sure the binding seams dont fall at the corners. Haven't used them for anything other than binding so thanks for your post, I got some good ideas.
