Okay, not to sound like a dunce, but what kind of hair clips are you guys talking about? Are they flat and silver and look like barrettes? Or are they the bigger plastic kind? I'm always looking for a bargain notion...LOL.

I used the hair clips for a long time and didn't want to spend the money on the Wonder clips. Now I put myself on a fabric moratorium and have purchased the notions I have always dreamed of having....YEP, the Wonder clips and I won't go back to the bulky hair clips. Like someone else mentioned, you can sew right up to the clips as they lay nice and flat. They are worth the money spent. I don't have as good of luck clipping and sewing the binding on in short segments at a time; I like to clip the entire quilt first. To each his own.

Has anyone used the Dritz binding clips? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER Are they stouter than regular hair clips that are about the same size and cheaper?

Hair clips: These are what I use, they're easy to use and cheap.

Binder clips: I know some people use them, however be careful because they can rust.

I much prefer the wonder clips to the clips. I got tired of popping them open. The wonder clips are very easy to use. Shoppers rule and jhittlesewing also carry them at fairly inexpensive prices. There are now larger wonder clips as well.
