Well, yeah, they are BINDING clips, not basting clips---I still use safety pins to baste.

I haven't seen those before. I use the ones that look like hair slips. I saw the booth in Paducah but didn't stop because I thought they would be to expensive. Wish I'd stopped now. Maybe next year.

I think if you use the hair clips, you'll find they'll do what you want. . I use them all the time & just love them. They also come off easily as I work my way around the binding. Just ck the hair dept at Wal Mart. I don't see the need to pay so much for other things that are really the same thing. Try it & see what you think.
