I only use one too!!! I've seen quilters with a king size and the whole thing clipped with hundreds. Must weigh a ton!!!!
I just went to an all day binding class. It was terriffic. We got to use the binding clips and I did like them. The joke was that you only needed one ... so buy a card or 10 and share with 9 friends. The clips are good for normal binding ... not so much for larger or fuller binding.

I bought them as well and the concept is wonderful however I have a physical difficulty when it comes to using my thumb and these little clips are almost impossible for me to 'unclip'...they are very strong which is a good thing! Needless to say I don't (or can't) use them!

This is the method I used. This is a three part series of videos, watch them all through. Even if you use your clips and not her method there is great info here. Get yourself a cup of coffee and sit back and enjoy.

I order a package of the wonder clips, they work great but are almost to small for me to handle. reason for that is I have termors
so small(large also) items are hard for me to control. but they are nice, hair clips didn't hold as well for me.

I love them. They also fit under the machine (if I want to machine bind) and they slip around on the fabric easily if you need to move them, or they stay put.
I used to use the dritz (?) brand binder clips, but those are so hard to fiddle with since they are the big spring type and don't slide out of the way very easily.
I only use the office supply binder clips to keep sections together (per suggestion from Judy Neimeyer - I took a class from her).
