    I use the silver hair clips. But I only use about ten and keep adding at the end. Works fine

    I bought a box of 50 (with a half price coupon) and still need more for binding a lap-size quilt.

    I bought a small pack and loved them so much I went back and bought the big pack. I find all sorts of uses for them. I want to try the the jumbo clips as well, just haven't seen them anywhere yet. May have to get an online order going.

    I use spring clips or bull clips I found at the Dollar store. These clips are so darn cute, only half an inch long, the "handles" at the top fold down like a full size clip. I paid a dollar for 20. They work great.

    I love these little gems. When I showed them to my DH, he loved them right away because now he knows he won't be finding pins that fall out as I am stitching the binding. I like the fact that I don't poke my fingers with the pins anymore. I have 2 boxes of 50. Sometimes I pin all the way around a quilt, sometimes only part way around. Small items like wall hangings and table runners, I use the clips all the way around. I agree with what others said - favorite quilting tool.

    I use my wonder clips all the time, they are so much better than pins

    I love them too. I only have the package of 10. I just move them along as I sew the binding. More than enough. Got some for my daughter and don't think she was too impressed until she tried them. Much better than trying to pin.
