I have the same red ones and I have found that the best use for them is to hold a quilt to the stair rail banister so I can take pictures! Just put a bit of the top of your quilt over the banister, slide the red rubber clip on and let go. Instant quilt hanger! lol
I tried using them when quilting and I had the same experience. It made the quilt heavy and it sticks! I just bunch and accordion fold now.
