I've used them for years. Sure beats all those pin pricks.

I use the binding clips now and really like them. I had always basted my binding down before I used the clips, so you can imagine the time saved now. I like a quilt to be really nicely bound, so I used to take the time to baste, but not anymore !

I use little clips called zip clips. They clip on via a little dispenser like a pez candy dispencer. I love them, they are very secure and hold like crazy!

I just bought hair clips and I love them. No pricked fingers, no lost pins.

I'm off to the Dollar Tree today to look for clips. Yesterday a pin prick in a spider vein caused blood all over the floor, my quilt, my rugs and me. I hardly felt it when I looked down, there was lots of blood. I'm asking for hazardous duty pay!

If you do use them, do you like them?
I use mine all the time it's better than pinning the binding in place and I don't stick my fingers as much.

I have never pinned or clipped. I just roll my binding in as I go .Works great for me.Clips and pins add bulk and are anuisance to me.
