I recently bought some of those fabric clips from Barnyarns for a project to start later in the year.  Putting a zip in a new jacket I thought I would see if they would work with zips.  Well I am well impressed, worked a treat, much better than pins that slip. :)

Me too! I bought some of the little clips recently and like them. I got mine from Amazon. They work particularly well with stretch fabrics, where pins won't stay in place.

Pins are still best for a lot of things, though. The clips don't replace them.

I like the wonder clips for holding my layers of net together when cutting tutu ruffles. I haven't tried using them when sewing, I will have to have a go  :vintage:
