Wonder Clips, and Elmers
#21
I just purchased some Wonder Clips at JoAnn's on sale, and then had a coupon for another 25% off, so they were a huge bargin. But honestly if I had know how great they were I would not have waited for a sale!!!! I have been busy making pot holders and eyeglass cases, and I have used them at least everyday since I purchased them. They are fantastic!!!

They are great for binding. I use then to hold the folded over binding in place. Then I sew following the stitch line underneath so it stitches in the ditch on the other side of the quilt. No hand sewing.

I use my wonder clips all the time now. I rely use pins. I just love them. They are perfect for binding and lining up points when piecing. I just ordered a package of the large ones from msqc as they had them as a daily special a couple of days ago.

I have never seen wonder clips before. Silly me I 'discovered' that I could use small binder clips the same way, and best of all they don't cost much at the office supply store. I buy the pretty ones that are sold for scrap booking because of the extra layer of paint that keeps my quilts from scratches or rusting.

Yes, Elmers Glue and wonder clips are my best friends when I get down to hand sewing the binding on while watching TV. I've got 3 boxes of the wonder clips so I never run out. I rarely use straight pins anymore as I'll use the glue for when I need to make sure my blocks match up. Just a tiny little dab is all that's needed too.
As for those I mentioned on another topic, I used the Elmer's Glue to attach my embroidery designs to the fronts of my pillow covers I made a couple of weeks ago. So far its working like a champ. When I get tired of these designs I can just pull them off, wash the covers and add new ones. Sure saves having to create all new pillow covers each time.
