I love these little gems. When I showed them to my DH, he loved them right away because now he knows he won't be finding pins that fall out as I am stitching the binding. I like the fact that I don't poke my fingers with the pins anymore. I have 2 boxes of 50. Sometimes I pin all the way around a quilt, sometimes only part way around. Small items like wall hangings and table runners, I use the clips all the way around. I agree with what others said - favorite quilting tool.
