alligator clips
 
I am just starting to wrap my stash on comic book boards. What type(s) of clips, and what sizes, did you use to secure your fabric and where did you buy them?

Thanks

Binder clips....any office supply store. Read an article this week about a woman that bought a tub of large ( 3 inch ) bobby pins from Sally Beauty Supply and that is what she used.

I wanted to use cross over shirt clips like https://www.amazon.com/Small-Metal-G.../dp/B00P9F1P78 but finding some place to order from that I trusted wasn't to be found. I did find these this morning but they don't ship to USA https://www.ebay.com/itm/223076792280

A link, I hope, for plastic alligator clips for fabric https://www.amazon.com/s?k=plastic+a...f=nb_sb_noss_2 If you just put alligator clips you get a lot of electronic alligator clips. If you look down through what is available, there are some that have teeth and there is one that doesn't have teeth. Since they are rather hard plastic, the will break.

I didn't use any clips. At first I was using pins - the quilting pins with the yellow balls on the end. But then I found that if a just slid the fabric in it with the fabric fold to the back, it didn't need anything to hold it. Kind of like putting a card into an envelope with the folded part in first.

You gotta be careful with the binder clips. I had one rust on me. Fortunately it wasn't on something that was important to me.

I had a bunch of the loops used to weave potholders. The loop works great to slip on the bolt or board. They don't pop off or rub off or stick me. I tie a knot in one if I need it tighter.
