I really like the clips. My long arm quilter gave me a few to try, and that's all I use now. They save time and no pin pricks!

Ditto!

[quote=gale]I love the clips too. When I used pins I would get stuck a lot and even more annoying, my thread would get caught around them.

Thread getting caught was my main reason to switch to clips

I've never tried the clips, but I think I will now, I get aggravated at the thread getting caught on the pins.

You ladies are right. No finger stabbing with pin points sticking out. I love my binding clips!

I bought some of the clips and really like them. I used to use pins but would always get poked. The clips are much better.

I use binding clips because the pins always stab me.
With the clips this doesn't happen and it is easier to take them
off as you work around the quilt. No dropped pins anywhere either

I used to use pins but after bleeding on a quilt, well, I broke down and bought clips and have never looked back! It is a lot easier to clip than pin too!

I use binder clips found at Walmart or any office supply store. They work just as well as the binding clips sold at quilt shops or the hair clips.

I have also used hair pins like these: http://www.sallybeauty.com/Metal-Curl-Clips/SLNCAR19,default,pd.html

I love using either one!

I use pin curl clips. Much less expensive than the ones you buy in a lqs. I find clipping for a short time keeps binding pretty much in place and even when you do the ladder stitch...you can take the pins out a short distance from where you are sewing and the cotton memory fold stays pretty much turned. Does this make sence? ALSO, SURE IS EASIER ON MY HAND BECAUSE WHEN I DO NOT USE CLIPS I GRIP THE QUILT SO TIGHTLY MY HAND ACHES.
