    I bought clips, not the brand name on Amazon. I paid under $8 for 100 clips. They work perfect and was the best buy I could fine. I us Amazon Prime.

    I have the Wonder Clips and the ones from Amazon and they both work well. Amazon's are much cheaper.

    I have both the genuine and the copies, and can't tell the difference. I use the Mini clips all the time for binding. I have a few of the Jumbo, but seldom use them.

    . I prefer the original. The cheaper ones are easy to break or get sprung. The original ones I have are still fine. I think the extra cost will save me money in the long run.

    I got a cute tin with 100 knockoffs. It was worth it even if a few break. Which so far they haven’t.

    I bought some of the Wonder Clips in the large size--nice, but almost too big to be practical. So bought a tin of knock-offs for much, much less and they are great--both at the machine and when I do binding, etc. I find that I basically only use the large ones now to hold many layers of cut fabric together as I organize my project.

    I've wondered about the knock-off clips. Price wise, they are a deal. Good to know they work just as well. I have a few of the small ones and don't care to use them... So far. I may change my mind as I quilt more.

    I liberated some small binder clips from work. Are the Wonder Clips that much better?

    I bought a 10 pack of the name brand at Joann with a coupon. I really liked them so I bought the 100 pack of knockoff brand in the tin on Amazon. The price for 100 knockoffs on Amazon was just a few cents more than the 10 pack WITH A COUPON at Joann. All 110 have worked well and I haven’t broken any of them. I don’t see how the off brand could ever be a bad deal. I would have to break 1,000 of them to match the price of buying the name brand. I don’t see that ever happening.
