Ditto. used them for the first time on the last quilt I bound . It was one of those "Where have you been all my life" moments. I got 2 pkgs of the large ones and 1 of the smaller ones, both worked well. I am going back to get more as soon as I find the dollar store around here.

You can also find them in the craft departments in stores like Pat Catan's. They come in bigger bags for making hair bows. I use mine. Love them. No more sticking me with pins or the pins falling out while I'm handsewing my binding on.

I have used them on everything I've put a binding on. They are so easy to use. The only time I used pins I was being stabbed to death. One package lasted forever.

I use them. I love not getting poked by pins all the time. Also they don't make my binding all out of shape like pins do.

I bought some, used for a while and then stopped. I only pin one section at a time as I go and I don't seem to need them.

I use them all the time. But with 3 daughters they seem to disappear awfully fast. Maybe now that they are all married and out of the house I won't "lose" quite so many!!!

I bought several packs of hair clips at the Dollar Tree. I used them on all of my binding and love them.

Yes! One of my fav notions. Have used since 1990's. Also use for hemming. Hadn't seen 'em for years, but did recently and I snapped up another set. I LOVE hand binding and do a fine job if it if I do say so myself.
