I love those bull dog clips for tons of things in my sewing room. I use them attached to shower rings for hanging my quilts on a rod. I keep one on mytape-measure. I clip them on my wire cupboard with little sewing samples attached.
This week I found these at my Walmart on the clearance bin. I actually bought them because I want to try the denim rag quilt but they have come in handy for at my sewing machine. I can't loose my scissors if they are around my neck, right?
