I switched to Wonder clips from hair clips when they first came out. Love them! When I need to hem a garment by hand, those hair clips are great for holding the hem in place. So I use them both, lol. I may get a package of the jumbo wonderclips...with a 50% coupon, of course!

I'm too frugal to buy something on Amazon that I can get at the dollar store...the hair clips work great. Leaves $$ for other things, like fabric!

Absolutely prefer the Wonder clips over hair clips.

I love these!! From small to large projects. No more getting stuck by my pins anymore!

I've used the hair clips but don't like how you have to bend and snap them on and off. With the wonder clips, they just open and close. Plus they have a flat edge to when you're on the sewing machine, it tends to lay generally flat as they come up to the needle. But to each his own!

I use the hair clips, and I don't have many, because I only use a few at a time, then move them down.

I LOVE the wonder clips!!! My first time using them my binding came out perfect on both side of the quilt. You can tell where your seam will be before you even sew it.

I use the hairclips and really like them. I have the binding clips but don't think they hold as well as the hair clips.
