    This may be the only unanimous post on this whole board!! I may have to go pick up some clips before I do my next binding.

    I love them. Here is what I posted last fall. Read down to the 4th post down and see the pic. :-)
    They are great and way better than pins.

    I love them. I got the clips at the dollar store. No more pin pricks and I have arthritis in my fingers so it makes it lots easier to work on bindings.

    I used them on one quilt and loved it. Then I heard about glue basting the binding and tried it on the next quilt, but I overdid the glue and it was so hard to sew through the hard dried stuff... I think I will go back to using the clips.

    Would someone please tell me where the link for the ladder stitch is? I guess I didn't bookmark it. I do use these binding clips. I got tired of getting stuck all the time.

    Oh yeah - and I got mine from the Dollar Store also. I machine stitch the binding to the front of quilt...and then fold over and hand stitch to the back of the quilt - and I use the clips like crazy.
    One of these days I'll practice machine stitching the binding completely....!
