They work better than pins when matching up corners and keeping points pointy. They have a flat side so they don't buckle the fabric and cause problems. I have 10 and I count them every time I use them and put them back in the container. It works for me!

I also use a few on my little herb packages I get to keep the package closed tightly after I open them. Also have grabbed a couple to close chip bags. And I do use them in my quilting studio also. Wonderful things.

I had a 50% off coupon for JoAnn's, too, but all they had when I went in was a package of 10. I'll keep watching.
|
I bought a small package and I love them.

I have been wanting to try them but at 54 cents each I would hate to try them only to find out I don't like them! LOL Has anyone found they don't care for them, and why?

I love to try new stuff. Thanks for the heads up.

I also got them on Amazon - it was the best price anywhere at the time.
Just used them on Sunday for my second-ever quilt binding. The corners were SEW easy and they're easy to use with one hand. I used the 'hair clips' on the first-ever binding and while they worked, they just weren't as easy to use. Worth the price if you can get the 50-pack for about $20. |
I wasn't sure that I would like them either, but I was lucky enough to test them for my local quilt store (for one of the owners) and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. I would recommend them to anyone. They work great for quilts, quilt binding, purse straps and zippers. I was making my son a camo coat and used them to hold the zipper in place when sewing. I bought one pack on sale on Eleanor Burns website, but bought my other packs on Amazon & was given a pack for mother's day.
Have a blessed day. debra |
me too. love em and its' so nice not to get stabbed, especially when I do binding
