Hope that makes sense. If not, let me know...I'll try to get more detailed. Also, I buy a large package of these clips at a discount store (K-Mart, Walmart, etc.); NOT the quilt store where they are a fortune!
I love using these clips. I bought mine in Walmart for about $3.00 for 30 of them. My DD saw me using them the other day and reminded me of when I used to use them to make fancy barrettes for her when she was a little girl to match every outfit she had.
