we just got some in at the LQS I work at yesterday. From what I remember at looking at them they also have a way measure in the inside of the clip as well. Thought that was a neat idea.

I think I would just use spring type clothes pins. They're a lot less expensive. Binder clips would be my next choice.

Yes, I know they are expensive. I am aware of that. Just want to know whether any other notions junkies (like me!) have tried them and what you thought. And yes, I know they are expensive.
I'm a closet junkie. I stand in the aisles and look, touch, wish, and think of all the ways I could use all those wonderful toys, but in the end, I'm too cheap to buy them and the kids drag me away. I end up using wannabes; alligator clips, hair clips, wooden clothespins, vice grips... It just depends on how big the job and what I need the tool to accomplish.

I haven't tried the wonder clips, but I went to Staples and bought a box of there small spring clips and they work the same way and a lot cheaper.

they LOOK good, but they break easily...many around here bought them after a teacher said they were a MUST HAVE...within 3 months they were all complaining about how shoddy they were and how fast they broke...

stick to the hair clips!

Totally curious on where you are using the vice grips in your quilting?

the wonder clips look great, have never seen them before. I have 2 diffferent kinds of plastic paper clips ,cheap to buy,
they work fine for light wait things. But the bigger clps work for the quilt bndings. may just order some of the wonder clips . Pins are out for me I have termors that result in lots of DNA left on items. I have tried clothes pins they work OK.

The only problem I have found with the hair clips, that I also use, is once you close it, the fabric is not flat any more but bend down....the wonder clips appear to keep it flat flat....which may have an advantage...

:-P LOL. I had to get my dad's little vice grips from his toybox - I mean TOOLbox - to hold the corners. I had no idea how to do corner binding (still don't, actually) and had a big bunch of material to hold together until I could google binding and corners. Since then, I also use them to hold my backing down to the ping pong table instead of tape when I sandwich.

I just bought some of these hair clips at Walmart. My friend uses them all the time and really likes them.
