I am in the process of orgainizing my fabric - refolding it onto boards to put on shelves.

Question, sometime ago I saw a dicussion about how to fold fabric on to boards, but they clipped them with some type of metal clips ---- Does anyone know what the clips are called & where you can get them?

HELP!!!!

I don't know - but I use straight pins - my LQS uses large paper clips - maybe that will help.

Several LQS here use hair barrettes, and clip them down. They are also called binding clips at Joanns.

I don't know the ones you saw, but my DH brought some home from Staples that I use.

I am not sure of the name of those, I have seen them before, but I just use straight pins to hold the fabric on the cardboard too. I already have them and they are easy enough to pull in and out as I need the fabric.

Good luck!

I've seen them in Sewing With Nancy catalogue but they are expensive. If you don't have much fabric it would be OK but I use pins could never afford clips for what I have.

The large plastic coated paper clips work well if you can't find what you want. Much cheaper also.

This is what I use. Works like a charm!

How about binder clips like you would get at an office supply?

Saw the metal ones in Clotilde catalog-12/pk for $6.48. Maybe you can get them cheaper with a coupon-they are called "PALS" binding clips
