    I just use small 'binder' clips. I like the fact that I can put the little 'legs' down over the edges, and not tangle my thread around them as I hand stitch the binding down to the back. At about $2.00, the price is right too.

    Hope you have better luck than I do, when ever I go back, looking for 'them' again...they're gone...no where in sight !!!

    Those are pretty cool looking. I don't think I'd use them though unless I could get them cheaper. I use those silver clips that look like hair barretts
