GingerK they work as advertised. Since they don't hang over the edge the thread doesn't wrap around them like the clips. And you are't pinching as tight if you aren't using the clips. (I have to admit I am a big gadget fan, so had to try them.).
Wow - I missed the "Flat back Sewing" palette. I have only done the whip stitch using the magnets holding the pieces back to back. So now I have to try the other way. I went onto the website to check further. It's in England, so couldn't find anyone local carrying the "palette".

I put the EPP pieces (whatever shape) on the tape and use clips where they intersect. If it's a complicated section, I lay the pieces out and then apply the packing tape to the right side of them. Then I hold them and stitch. I've never had a problem. The tape keeps them from moving around.

This is the video I watched to learn how to do the flatback stitch.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfC9...=TheQuiltKitCo I use a larger piece of tape so that it holds the pieces together really well. I can also put more than 2 pieces on the tape and sew them at one time.
