I use them and love them. I have grandchildren around a few days a week, and I know they won't be stepping on any pins after I've been doing my handsewing upstairs in my rocking chair while watching tv. I can really multi-task.

I bought some when I first started quilting - thought they were interesting... Well, from the first quilt until now, I have used them. They are great - snap close, snap open. I use them to hold the binding on my quilts as I sew. I think anyone that tries them will love them! Quilting/fabric shops have them. As someone mentioned, you can probably find them in dollar stores.

I LOVE them. I've got enough to clip entire quilt. They help keep the binding flat unlike straight pins. Also I can fold the quilt up while sitting in the easy chair hand stitching and not worry about getting stuck or losing pins in my chair.

You're right joyce888. I actually use them to clip projects I'm working on that I have to transport. I also clip pages together in my quilting books to hold my place - there are so many ways to use them.
