Yes, I have them & use them all the time. I used to use straight pins & got tired of getting stuck.

I use the Martelli Zip gun clips. They are awesome.

I have never seen them, nor would I try them.

If you do use them, do you like them?

I love them. Go to Wal Mart & buy them in the hair accessories dept. I use them all the time to hold bindings on. Here is a project gone wrong that I'm just binding & will figure out how to use it later.

I use pins with the pinmoors on them. No pin sticks.

They are great! I use them all the time. I hate the pins poking me when I am sewing the binding by hand, and the clips don't do that!

I use them. Needed them when I was doing prairie points. Helped greatly.

I use actual hair clips and they work just fine. Holds down my binding really well for me to do my blind stitching. Saves a lot of time, too. Try them. =)

I don't see why you would need them.

Jane I use them for every quilt I make. I like them because I can make sure my binding lays flat and pre miter each corner before I make a single stitch in the binding.
