It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta keep these companies in business, right? I'm especially addicted to specialty rulers. :oops: I've been using the same two rulers 95% of the time for four or five years, but I keep buying all the oddball shapes and sizes for "someday," when I make the block that needs it. ;) I do use the specialty rulers, though - Eleanor Burns' Flying Geese rulers are the absolute bomb. But, I just got Lazy Girl's No Math Flying Geese Ruler because it's got more sizes. :mrgreen: It's a sickness. :? |

Especially not if they work. ;) I'm the queen of money wasted on useless notions, though so maybe I'm not the person to listen to. :mrgreen: |
Another user of hair clips here! Love them - quick, easy, inexpensive and no more getting poked by pins!
The hair clip tip is probably one of the best ones I've ever gotten, and I am appreciative every time I sew on a binding. The Wonder Clips do look pretty good, though. |

Holds perfectly!!! Best thing ever ... and I've been able to get them anywhere from six to ten for a buck! :) |
I used the silver clips until some clever people on this board enlightened me to the ladder stitch. No clips needed and invisible stitches.......don't get any better than that. :thumbup:

I use the clips from Wally World too. My hands aren't what they used to be and it's easier to open and close with just a bend instead of pinching the clips. Just a thought...

They've closed the closest Dollar Store around here. |
I use black binder clips (they come in all sorts of sizes), silver hair clips, and nylon coated paper clips. All work great, and are something I already have just lying around.

First of all I had never seen these before, but llike the idea
(2) I don't think 10 for 4.99 is expensive at all! (3) I agree with others that the black binder clips should work just as well and are some cheaper. Thanks for sharing the link and the idea with the rest of us! |
Dollar store ones for me. Work great.
