I bought the hair clips at the Dollar Store because I am cheap! I couldn't get them to stay on so thus, they were useless in holding my binding on. I purchased 2 packages of the Clover Binding Clips when I had a 50% off coupon at my LQS. I used them on my last quilt and I LOVE THEM!!! Only issue I had was that I only had 20 of them so I couldn't secure all the binding at once. Nancy's notions just had them on sale with free shipping so I purchased the 50 count for $27! I know now I will have enough!!! And I will never get skewered a hundred times by all the pins I use to secure my binding!
