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.

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!

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...

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