You'll love them-I use them for binding, holding sets together-and almost anywhere else I would use a pin-most useful notion that I have purchased in a long time!

I used to pin my binding but I just started using my daughter's old, left over hair clips and they work great. My thread doesn't get tangled around them and I don't stick myself with the pins anymore. I can clip them to other things when I'm not using them or as I need to move them. Mine are all colors, because they were hair clips, so it fun using them too.l

I too use the hair clip type (purchased at JoAnns with coupon) and have enough to clip an entire quilt at once. If I only clip one at a time I have a chance of not getting my binding even. I use the office supply type for corners only because they tend to clip really hard and cause ripples. My motto buy what you can afford and works best for you.

I recently bought a set too, but haven't had a quilt to bind yet so haven't tried them. I was wondering if anyone else had used these clips and if they liked them. Most often I don't use any kind of clips at all, but sometimes might need a little help.

There are many clips that do the job but Clover clips are made for fabric holding. They are worth it to me.

I use the office store binding clips as well. Actually bought some bright colored ones from a clearance rack at Wally World. They work great.

I use one binder clip I "borrowed" from the office and just keep moving it as I catch up to it.

I use the hair clips 12/$1 from the dollar store or Dollar General and they do the trick for me. Alot cheaper and enables me to get more (if the granddaughter needs to put her hair back and I don't get it back) for the bigger projects. I was wondering how those work though.

Have used the office binder clips, but most the time my
hands don't have the "strength" to open them.

Have oodles of the the "hair clips" also, not a big fan of
those, did not like the way it held my binding on the quilt.

Really tired of sticking my fingers, with the pins. Since I am
diabetic I do enough finger sticks without adding to them.

So I am really looking forward to trying my new wonder clips.
