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 just use small 'binder' clips. I like the fact that I can put the little 'legs' down over the edges, and not tangle my thread around them as I hand stitch the binding down to the back. At about $2.00, the price is right too.

Hope you have better luck than I do, when ever I go back, looking for 'them' again...they're gone...no where in sight !!!

I use these too. Love them

I had not seen them before, but looks like a good product.

I went to Sally supply and bought the alligator clips

Those are pretty cool looking. I don't think I'd use them though unless I could get them cheaper. I use those silver clips that look like hair barretts
