All I have are Clover brand and I love them for sewing on my bindings by hand. No more getting stabbed with pins or snagging my thread as I stitch. I would never go back to using pins for attaching binding again. I also use various sizes of binder clips to keep my precut strips organized by width and my bargello pieces in order. I will also add, that in a pinch, wooden clothespins work just fine also and they are available in different sizes too.
