I didn't have any luck with any kind of clips. It just adds more bulk to the fabric I'm already trying to shove through small throat space. This reminds me I need to give my friend her hair clips back.. I will use pins and press (then remove them) and then just feed the quilt through. In any case, it's easy to remove the pins (if I have them in there) before I get to a portion of the quilt I'm binding. I have tried some clips recommended on this board -- like I said -- they just get in the way. I pin and press and the binding just feeds.
