I, too, have used the bendable hair clips; but just purchased a pkg of 50 Wonder Clips and used them on the last two baby quilts I made. I'll never go without them from now on. Great replacement for pins. I bought a pkg for my quilt friend for Christmas. Anxious to hear how SHE likes them. I also purchased the PinMors (sp?) and like those for 'pinning' my layers of quilt together.....no more pin pricks!!!

I don't use any clips, pins, nor anything which saves a ton of time. I've been using the ladder stitch which is invisible and nothing is needed to hold the binding in place while doing the ladder stitch. Over a year ago someone on this board told about it. Here is a tute: http://turningturning.com/tutorial-i...quilt-binding/ First it shows how it looked the old way she did binding and further down the page she shows the ladder stitch.
I did the 2012 Craftsy BOM quilt also. The top is all put together, the batting is with it, the backing is sewn together and the binding is with it. I just have to take it to my LAer. I am going to have her custom quilt it. I used the exact same fabric as Amy Gibson used and it's gorgeous!!! I'm doing this year's 2013 Craftsy Free BOM. I bought her fabric and am copying her also. But I am also making a block using my own fabric so when the year is up, I will have 2 quilts instead of one.
I don't bind so I have no room to respond!

I love the Wonder clips and now I just got a notice from Shoppers Rule (http://www.shoppersrule.com/pc/SP-CL...SWS/index.html) that there is a bigger size. I'm thinking about picking some up.
