My Wonder Clips (Didn't know they had a name)
As many of you on the board know, I have a very talented husband. http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...d-t243621.html
Recently, I have seen posts referring to Wonder clips and I have even watched a video on their many uses. For a few years now, I have been using them and didn't even know they had a name. If you have a handy husband, you take a pants hanger from WalMart (they throw them away or allow the customer to keep them) and you cut off the "clip" part, sand down any rough edges and wahlah, you
have clips to hold your binding in place, etc. He even attached one to the back of a board in the shape of a hand. This has a knob on the bottom so that you can attach it to your work table. It allows you to clip anything you are working on to this so you have both hands free to use. Great for ripping out seams. We have called it the Third Hand and it works great.

Very cute! (Love the nail polish!)
As my name implies, lol, I'm experienced with rippin' seams... And my "third hand" to rip seams more quickly is the presser foot on my machine. It holds one end very well so I can use both my hands to Rrrrrip.
