I use them every time I sew on a binding. I got so tired of getting hurt on those blasted pins!

I use them. Just recently started, but I love them. Keeps me from getting poked by pins. I have some that are the real "quilters" clips, and some cheap ones from the dollar store. Work about the same, IMO.

I have them and love them!!! I used pins to put the binding on the first quilt I made. I poked myself many times with those pins. Then I found the binding clips and haven't looked back. Well, I will admit trying the glueing method. It worked but was messy and time consuming for me.

I just finished sewing on a binder using the clips. I use the hair clips, like others here do. I love them!

Well, I just proofread what I wrote....and, of course, I sewed on a binding just now, NOT a binder. Small detail, but as a retired English teacher, just had to correct myself.

Don't you just love the feeling you get when you finish a quilt!! I am feeling very satisfied right now. And to top it off, I really like the quilt. I am one of those who just can't visualize the final quilt until it is done. I envy those of you who have "the vision."

I use to use them for holding my binding until I read the thread on this board about the ladder stitch. You don't need to use clips or pins using this method. I don't remember who posted the ladder stitch....but whoever it was, I thank you! :-D

Use them. Love them. I have used them for many years and would hate to bind a quilt without them.

I do not use them I use 2" strips for my binding and can just turn it evenly without them. They are more a hinderance to me than a help
