I have them and use them all the time. They are easier than using pins and don't hurt as much.
|
I have used them on binding; it was great not getting poked or raking my fingers over straight pins.
|
Yes, I do use them. I use 2 or 3, depending on where I am going to be sewing. I really like them. It makes the sewing go along faster, because you can just take off the bottom clip and move it above the others and keep sewing. Easier on my hands, too, with my arthritis.

When I first began to quilt I would sew my binding using straight pins. The pins would always get in the way and hurt my fingers as I tried to hand stitch the binding. Michaels has a small quilting section, so one day with my 40% coupon I bought a package. I'm glad I did. They are easy to put on and take off to adjust the binding and no more bleeding fingers

I got some clips at harbor freight. Really like them.
|
I use them all the time, the really big clips are perfect to hold a quilt rolled so you can quilt the center.
I roll the quilt from both sides, clip a lot, & now it is very managable, easy to unclip to move to the next area. |
I have them and use them. I like them a lot.

I always use them. I love them. I tend to stab myself anytime I use the quilting pins. These are so much easier.
|
I inherited a quilting stash a year ago and those little clips were in the stash. one of my good friends uses them while tacking down her binding and so I took her lead and am now using them. Gotta tell you, I love them!! After I press the binding out, I clip it down and it makes it so nice. No fighting with rolling it over.

My thoughts exactly. I hate being stabbed by pins. Never thought of using the hair clips - quilters are so clever. |
