    Default Wonder clips

    Has anyone used the mini one inch wonder clips for piecing? And do you like them?

    There is a new one that is only 1/8" at the tip. I use the larger ones for purse making. Love Wonder Clips!

    I use the small red ones to fold over the binding before sewing it down. Never used them for piecing---just pins.

    I use the red ones for binding, in my rag quilt assembly, and for a bag. I don't think they are a good fit for regular piecing though.

    I have all colors and sizes! LOVE using them, and even for
    non sewing uses.

    One of my non sewing uses is to clip my earbuds for my iPod
    to my shirt.

    I use the small ones with the 1/4" tip instead of a pin to hold seams in place when piecing. I don't remove them. I use Wonder Clips much more then pins now. I detest pin pricks. My DD gave me 200 of the Wonder Clips in the different colors for a gift. I'm set for a long time. I like all the sizes of the Wonder Clips. They are quality made and work.

    I have the red ones use them all the time.
    don't get pricked and bend those pins.

    love my wonder clips and use them all the time. My latest use is for paperpiecing (glorious hexagons)to hold the bits together while hand sewing. Will have to look out for the 1/8 in ones.

    I also use them for EPPing to hold together while I sew. I bought mine at Joanns with coupon but just recently I saw some a quiltersmart.com, very inexpensive, so plan to buy more.

    I have used them for piecing before. I just sewed rows together with wonderclips last week
