These can be purchased in the quilt stores here in Australia, but these hair clippies would be cheaper and do the same job I guess. Thanks Shirley

I use these Loralye and you are right no matter How careful I was with pins I always managed to stick myself and get blood on my project. These clips are great. Hugs Joyce

your welcome Joyce & maybe you can try the toothpaste or the hairspray too, Hugs Loralye
I will have to remember these tips . I havn't heard of using toothpaste. Thanks Loralye

I use these too. Not only are they great for pain-free binding, they work well when I use my serger...preventing the pins from hiding and dulling my serger knives.

I use the 1/2" binder clips, but I bet these would work well too. I learned long ago that blood is very difficult to remove from an almost finished project, and so incredibly frustrating. You would need the bigger ones so that they would stay closed, right?

I use all the sizes that I can find even the little ones work well

These are a great idea, thanks for the picture, too. Actually, I think this is funny, because I've seen pretty much exactly the same thing on quilting sites, and of course being a "quilting" tool were much more expensive, hee hee hee. Great thinking, thanks for sharing! Hugs, Marji

Thanx Loralye-I have been using these-as well as bobby pins-for years(my Home Ec. teacher in High School showed us that tip-MANY moons ago lol)-I also use the really big ones for heavier projects-I have a box full of these and the plastic claw type hair clips that I use to hold fabric out of the way when I use the embroidery machine
1 comment
me too the big hair clips are great for keeping the rolled up fabric in place! It sure makes it easier to machine quilt in the hoop!

wow I am really glad that sew many of you found my tip to be helpful. Sometimes we take for granted just how much we know, What other tips do you cuties have that maybe you do all the time & think it is probably something we all do? Hugs &************Loralye. Oh & just sew you know I have pinned myself tons & have used hairspray to get the blood out or toothpaste both work well

Great tip! My 6 years old daughter wants to learn sewing and these might well be less dangerous for her to use than pins.
Thank you for the idea!

This is SOOOOOOOOOOO awesome----the stuff I used for years I for daughter and granddaughter--I can also now use for embroidery/sewing/quilting/serging----I also use the stretchy head bands around my stabilizer rolls and around the labels to get rid of the bulky plastic packaging---great when traveling........Thanks for the great idea to help support my habit........

I purchased these, but they seem like a waste of time to me. I can go faster by just turning the binding as I go and stitch by hand. I have been using mine for embroidered clippie for my GDs. Much better use for me. Hugs, Susan

JoAnn Fabrics sell them also with the quilting supplies. I bought some but haven't used them yet. Hope they work well so I can avoid getting stabed with pins. They also work for hair clips very well!

I bought a packet of these at a sewing machine shop they were marked "quilt binding holders!" Imagine that! The only difference from hair clippies is that they are flat in the middle, no ridge for crimping the hair.....Otherwise, they are identical!
