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!

9459JoAnn 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!
62459I gave all mine to my GD. Guess I'll just need some new ones! thanks
38558I 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
25510Loralye, you are so clever!! Thanks for sharing this with us. I am going to get some tomorrow. (can't have enough sewing stuff can we?)
21543I bought a pack of 30 of these just last week. Which they call Binding clips. What a great idea. Hugs Yvonne
132773Ohmy goodness.. I will have to raid my grand daughters hair goodies. Thx
34768Gosh, never thought about using these this way. I always use them when I go swimming trying to keep the hair up and dry. Thanks :)

hey what else can you share I bet you have a few good ideas too ie: tablecloth that are flannel backed for coasters! Great idea. Hugs Loralye
360351This 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........
4685Great 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!

my use them too! They bring colored ones from home LOL my d has a fit! Hugs Loralye
2313wow 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
299557453Thanks for this idea. I just put binding on a project and got stuck over and over. Will give it a try. Hugs, Judy
10530I have lots of these and no hair so good use for them, thanks, lol! Debra

30988Thanx 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

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!
20173And to think I just gave all my old hair clips to my granddaughters! LOL!!!!
Great idea Loralye! Hugs n roses, Meganne
122864Great idea, I know some of my quilting friends are using these clips and say they work great, now me I am a pinner but I'm going to give this a try. Juanita
2631678092What a clever idea!! :) :) It keeps everything in flat & in place and doesnt jab!!!!! Thanks for sharing sweetheart :) Hope you have a super day :)

12506A super Idea, Thank you for this great Tip
Happy Stitching!
7875What a great idea! And if we have a hot flash, we can pull our hair back with these - no matter how short - LOL I have two in my hair right now - LOL

12667Brilliant idea and not just for quilts either. Thank you. Sarah.
253102I don't use any pins or clips either just fold binding to other side of quilt and hand stitch.
Good luck using you new found goodie. Hugs
20661Thanx!!! I have been repairing a quilt for my newest grandson in law, and have been Stuck at least 20 times an hour!!! Will go to $ store tomorrow!!! Great tip. Hugs, Judy
92391These 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
33451You need to submit this to Emb. Library and you may get a discount for your idea.
10191I have been using them for years ,I buy mine at the discount stores about 30 for $2
23579I 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?
16260I 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.
57608I 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

I will have to remember these tips . I havn't heard of using toothpaste. Thanks Loralye
15141These 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
