    I use them. They are easier than pins to add and remove. I bought regular clips at Walmart.

    I absolutely use clips instead of pinning. However, I press bindings very heavily before I start the handwork and if I press thoroughly enough, I don't need clips or pins. froggyintexas

    Keeps you from being stabbed by pins.

    I use the regular hair clips and love them. It sure helps hold the binding and not getting poked by the pins is a blessing

    Yes...all the time...
    Started using pins...cast that aside when I found these.

    Several reasons....
    I don't have to worry about a pin falling on the floor unknown to me...DH is diabetic and also a potential danger for GD.
    Also, DH's Cockateil takes a bit longer to remove them. He's a whiz with pins!!!

    I use them and also use the hair barrettes. The hair barrettes are so much cheaper and work just as well.

    I use them all the time. My little yorkie always jumps up in my lap when I am doing any hand sewing....this way he doesn't get stuck with pins.

    Love them, but I buy them at the dollar store or Big Lots. Save lots of money---

    I use them all the time. They are a good tool, I sew my
    bindings by machine and I don't look like I got in a fight
    with a cat when the binding is all done.
