I have both the red (smaller) and green (larger). I almost always use the red ones.

I also use the small Clover clips for several things besides binding... but I love Louise's idea of clipping her earbuds to her shirt.

I love the clover clips. I do not like to spend money on things that I will not use, so I don't buy all the latest tools, got these in my stocking for Christmas a few years ago. Wonder how I lived without them after I started to use them! They seem to last a long time. Will have to look for he ones from Amazon.

I use both, but use the small one more. I bought these and they are just as good as the Clover brand. Can't tell them apart, really. Much more affordable....http://www.amazon.com/WONDER-CLIPS-5...vergreen+clips

I use the small red ones for binding and love them. Found them on mark down at a rural Walmart along with 505 basting spray. Love that Walmart, you never know what you'll find!

I, too, use the hair clips from the dollar store. They work just fine for me.

Are the clips for sewing the binding? If that is the case, I don't use anything (pins , clip , etc.) I really don't see the need for anything. The binding is stitched on , where is it going. I merely turn the binding to the back and hold it with my fingers. Do my revised ladder stitch and DONE ! ! No extra money spent, more money for fabric.

Are the clips for sewing the binding to the back? If so, I don't use anything except my fingers. The binding is sewn on already , where is it going? I merely turn the binding to the back and use my modified ladder stitch and DONE ! ! . No pin, on clips on money spent on anything, more money for fabric.

I use Cady clips found on Amazon. I purchased 100 clips for $8.99. Check out Amazon to see a whole lot of great prices. Many are free shipping and the prices can't be beat. These small clips work just as well as Wonder Clips but cost a whole lot less. I use them for my quilting as well as bags, hemming jeans, etc.
