I rarely use them and would gladly return them but too late for that. Let me tell you about one of my favorites, the Sip-n-snip. It is a gadget that went to my quilting weekend and I love it. You attach it to anything, table, cabinet, machine, etc. It holds a 32ounce bottle or large glass and has a scrap bag attached that is very easy to empty. This one was worth the money, about $25.
Glad to read your post, I had hovered on the brink of buying these when I decided to do something myself, first tried earring backs, too large, then got the bright idea to buy 1/4 inch craft foam and cut it with rotary cutter into 1/4 inch strips which I then cut into little 1/2 to 3/8 inch pieces, these work fairly well, some come off and occasionally I get stuck but overall work ok for my quilt as you go projects, I bought the bright neon orange so it was easy to see the little pieces which I store in a baggie.
