I have sewn on the binding just as happyquiltmom does with only 3 or 4 pins, even doing it this way still manage to pik myself occasionally. I use the hair clips for other things, I have the quilt clips too, but favor the hair clips as they lay flatter and are not as heavy. Sometimes with the clips the binding slips and then I have to rip out the binding in the slipped area. No fun getting picked by pins I know.
