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!
I use the wonder clips, too and I love them. But I can manage with the original 10 because I don't clip the whole binding at once. I clip a section, sew it , and sort of "leap frog" the clips as I go. It's always been fine for me. Of course, I'm not going to discourage anyone from buying more supplies!! ( have you seen the BIG green clips? - cool!)

I think the wonder clips are much better than hair clips. They hold tighter and don't slip off. I use then for binding but also love them for the tops of tote bags. When you are trying to line up the lining with the exterior of the tote, it is nice not to get your fingers all stuck and bleeding...LOL.

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 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 the silver hair clips. Lots cheaper! And I have enough to go around a king size quilt.
