    If you do use them, do you like them?
    I use them all the time for anything and everything, even binding. I clip notes to things, use them to bookmark a page in a quilting book or magazine with a note to remind me why I liked that page to start with and the ideas that I had.

    I use them all the time and love them. I'm actually old enough to remember when we used them overnight in our hair to make pincurls. This is in no way a new item, someone just found a new use for them.

    I used to use pins for pinning my binding, but since I've found these binding clips, I'd never go back to pins. I remember too many stuck fingers when sewing on the binding!

    I use regular office supply store binder clips. They work just great.

    also use them when heming clothes. Don't have to worry about getting stuck and the tread dosen't get stuck on pin heads.

    I always use them to hold down my binding which I hand sew. I would not be without them. ;)

    I use them all the time. No more "holey" fingers from pins or thread wrapping around pins. Love them.

    Do you know what I use for binding clips? I go to the Dollar Store and bought the children hair clips. I get 10 or 12 for $1 and for me they hold as well as the quilt binding clips. I have done binding for 2 queen size quilts and a couple of potholders by usingn these clips.
