I use the silver hair clips. But I only use about ten and keep adding at the end. Works fine

I bought a box of 50 (with a half price coupon) and still need more for binding a lap-size quilt.

I bought a small pack and loved them so much I went back and bought the big pack. I find all sorts of uses for them. I want to try the the jumbo clips as well, just haven't seen them anywhere yet. May have to get an online order going.

I use spring clips or bull clips I found at the Dollar store. These clips are so darn cute, only half an inch long, the "handles" at the top fold down like a full size clip. I paid a dollar for 20. They work great.

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.

I use my wonder clips all the time, they are so much better than pins

I love them too. I only have the package of 10. I just move them along as I sew the binding. More than enough. Got some for my daughter and don't think she was too impressed until she tried them. Much better than trying to pin.

They have also just come out with a Jumbo Wonder Clip (or something like that).
