If you do use them, do you like them?
I use them all the time for anything and everything, even binding. I clip notes to things, use them to bookmark a page in a quilting book or magazine with a note to remind me why I liked that page to start with and the ideas that I had.

I use them all the time and love them. I'm actually old enough to remember when we used them overnight in our hair to make pincurls. This is in no way a new item, someone just found a new use for them.

I used to use pins for pinning my binding, but since I've found these binding clips, I'd never go back to pins. I remember too many stuck fingers when sewing on the binding!

I use regular office supply store binder clips. They work just great.

I always use them to hold down my binding which I hand sew. I would not be without them. ;)

I use them all the time. No more "holey" fingers from pins or thread wrapping around pins. Love them.

Do you know what I use for binding clips? I go to the Dollar Store and bought the children hair clips. I get 10 or 12 for $1 and for me they hold as well as the quilt binding clips. I have done binding for 2 queen size quilts and a couple of potholders by usingn these clips.
