As a bag sealer, hold slacks by pant hem on clothes hanger.

sq

i use a box made of wood that is screwed onto the post .It is a cute wee pig ,that needs repainted but i like it better then a bag as i have two huge lines:):)and it holds more pegs.hugs

I use pegs for my laundry, I also use my clothes pegs to on bags to seal them when I have opened them, to hold notes on, I remember my husband holding screen printed work up to dry with pegs across a indoor line and probably more uses but its the end of a busy day so the brain is not fully awake. Washing dried outside smells beautiful. I

They get used for all sorts of things in our house - but mostly for stopping the washing from blowing away. As asterixsew says, there is no smell like that of sheets which have been dried in the sunshine!

I use them the same way asterixsew and spendlove do - mainly to keep washing in its place, but also for closing bags, keeping notes together, keep slippery blouses from slipping of a hanger, To keep sewing patterns together before I put them in their proper place, half of one as a wedge under a door that does not stay open, with a name written on it clipped to seed trays.
I know there are proper gadgets for all of these, but why bother when you have a peg at hand.

I LOVE sheets dried on the line...however, due to my allergies, I can't hang my sheets out any longer! :-( There's a bunch of peg cozies by Lique that I now use on my clothes pins!

Chip clip and cooky bag clip. Hold my to do lists (notes) together at the emb machine. Elementary Teachers use them for game making, such as whether nouns take an "s" (peg) or an "-es" (peg) to make them plural. Most of my pegs have s or es written on them, because I had the dubious honor of breaking up a school in the church we formerly served.

Sooo, looks like lots of uses..just for a "rookie" I guess...is there a difference between a "peg" and a "clothes pin"....not to be dense or anything...but since I don't really use them...I remember the old fashioned clothes pin..one piece like a beak...and the clothes pins I used as a child...two pieces with a spring...are they both "pegs"...or is there another kind of "peg"...

With a household of mostly boys...I can tell you another use for the clothes pins with a spring. Look for "rubber band wood gun clothes pin" (no quotes) on a Google search. My boys have made these guns before and they have had a lot of fun playing with them too.
I think there is a difference in name as well as look. In my part of the world, the "pegs" are the old fashioned ones (they work very well without leaving marks) and the clothes pins have the two pieces with a spring. They will hold through some very strong winds!
I use the clothes pins to hold stitched items to the (tent like) shade at outdoor boutiques.

I use clothes pegs and a peg bag all the time we are lucky enough to be able to dry our clothes outside most of the year , sometimes in winter I may just need to finish off thicker clothes like jeans in the dryer for 20 minutes or so , must make myself a new peg bags some day

I use them for all the same purposes that have be mentioned, but mostly I use them to hold a straining cloth to a bowl when I'm making jelly.

I don't own a dryer, except for the 'clothes-horse' so my pegs are for the traditional use. However, they do close the frozen peas and beans bags really well ( so I don't have esca...peas! in my deep freeze)

You can use the kind without the spring to make little painted dolls for little figures and hands; we had those as kids and used scrapes of fabric to fashion clothes for them. :) Used them for the traditional cloth, lines and bags etc. I also use them instead of anything fancy to hold the bulky side of my embroidery if I have a larger piece than I'm comfortable managing: onsies, t-shirts, etc. I sometimes need to be an octopus when it comes to corralling the fabric.

I still use pegs (clothespins in the US) every week and sometimes more often than that if I do rugs, bedding, etc. Never put undergarments in the dryer, what I do put int he dryer they only are in there for a short period of time and go on the line or a hanger as I feel the dryer wears the clothes out faster than a person wearing them does. Love my laundry on the line.

Just about to go out and hang out my Doona cover! I use large plastic pegs! I got a whole set on line. Love Chris

I pegged it onto my little Doggie Angel (given to me from Amy on the death of our beloved Bella a Shelite 3 years ago).
The second picture show them sideways.

I have 2 pins next to my machine to hold the fabric and stabilizer together so nothing falls and shifts as I get things started. I have been wanting to make a peg bag since I saw someones last year! I even found an metal pants hangar to use and is hanging in my sewing area waiting. I will be stitching again soon!

Interesting pegs and pins discussion - they are pegs here in UK whatever type they are!

As it happens, the strap broke off my peg bag after much use, so I made a new one last night out of flyscreen so it will drain if it gets rained on. I've always taken my pegs out to the clothesline and back in again as they last longer, plus we had a cockatoo as a pet when we were kids and he loved to destroy them if he was out :) The pocket is for broken bits so I can put workable bits together again if I'm in the mood -or for the phone if I want to take it outdoors with me. And yes, I also use pegs for folding down the top of cereal packets, pet food etc or sometimes to keep extra fabric away from the embroidery area -surprise, surprise, LOL.

My husband uses them for the usual uses.. hanging out the clothes sealing open packets (my pet hate is fishing them out of the freezer, mainly cause I can't reach the bottom without going bottoms up) holding things together while the glue drys..

Great question Kim. I use pegs for washing and also for sealing bags. If something need to be fixed with glue I use pegs to hold pieces together.

Here is one , I made . I use pegs to hold binding on my quilts for sewing, I have tried to use them to hold fabric back on my hoop but for some reason not much like there. I use simple cloths pegs to reseal bags in the kitchen.

I've read through the posts and have used the spring kind of clothes pins for everything mentioned, even the rubber band gun! (I have four grown boys!). We always had a clothes pin bag when I was growing up. We used it outside in the summer and upstairs in a dry old attic in the winter. There were seven of us kids growing up so laundry had to be done every day. We had to iron the sheets and pillow cases and most of the clothes too. Not much wash'n wear during the 60's! We used the pegs only for arts and crafts as they never did a good job of keeping clothes on the line when the wind was blowing. I can't use them anymore for hanging clothes on a hanger as they are all plastic hangers these days and they are too small to fit around the plastic. They do make good kitchen magnets though. Just glue a piece of magnetic strip or a magnet on one side of the pin. They also are used for potato chip bags ( cookies, candy, cereal, etc). I could never make them work well enough to hold my embroidery on the hoops but I sure tried! The clothes pins made today are cheap and fall apart very easily, not like the ones that were around when I was a kid. They also make great Christmas card holders during the Holidays. Add some to a long piece of string and drape across a wall with the cards clipped to them.

I always use pegs whether hanging on the outside line or under the Patio in the shade and out of the rain.
Shirts I hang on wire coat hangers helps cut ironing in half.
A good example of why you should use them and not just throw the clothes over the line is the young fellow next door. His washing ends up on the lawn and his dog thinks they make ever so comfy bedding.

I put my mesh loungerie bags in them.

I use the spring type to hold bags of chips, freezer bags of food shut. Also bags of candy after I open them.
