I'm like you and so many of us who purchase many things we want and think we need. Well I finally took them out of the package and they are wonderful. I went big and purchased the big package of 50 and think I need another package. They are great.

I'm with you - the 10 of them work for me!

( have you seen the BIG green clips? - cool!)

Thanks for the advice about the tops of totes. I was wondering if they would work for that. As you said not getting your fingers all stuck and bleeding would be nice.

I love my Wonder Clips. I bought a box of 50. I use about 10 at a time when binding and do the leap frog thing. I put 15-20 of them in my little sewing box (make-up bag) that I take everywhere with me so can share them with quilting friends who have never tried them.

I think the Wonder clips are easier to use than the other items mentioned. Sometimes the cost is worth it for me.

I could not find the applicator either - so - I put a pool of glue on wax paper and use the small end of a wooden chop stick to make my glue dots - works like a charm for me - I put the stick in a glass when not using it and then give it a wash when finished.

I use these too. They are much more cost effective and work great. I would rather spend my money on fabric than more expensive notions, especially when I can get the same benefit at a much better price. And, they don't have angles to catch your thread on, lol, just an added plus!

I totally agree - no more glue & iron or getting stuck with pins.

This was the question I have. Between the arthritis and severe carpal tunnel I don't have enough strength to use a lot of the clips
