I have 2 red clips to add to the pile. These I got from my mother's quilting supplies after she passed away. They seemed like a great idea, but as others have posted, not worth the hassle. I really like the idea given for drapery tie-backs. Isn't it great when we can find something useful for those "must have" items that don't work for their intended purpose. Only on TQS will one get so many useful ideas, which makes the price of admission worth it, then we get videos, gorgeous quilts, etc. on top of everything else.

This is just a quick idea for turning them into curtain tiebacks. I sewed a tube of fabric and ruffled it onto 2 of them taped together. I would probably get more detailed and add cording to the top and bottom if I were going to use these. This was just an experiment and quickly done.

I put them in the same category as that sticky design wall thing they were featuring a couple of years ago. Nice idea.........but no. I'd be interested to hear if anyone actually uses these things.

BethMI OFFLINE Posts: 422 Thank you received: 5	I would advise not using them at all and just "puddling" the quilt under the harp of the machine. Rolling the quilt or putting it in clips makes it very difficult to move and will really hamper your machine quilting. BethMI

drj2athome OFFLINE Posts: 640 Thank you received: 3	I am quilting near the center and I bought clips to help me make the quilt easier to manage. I am not sure how to clip it. I think I can only put clips on opposite sides or I can do two diagonal and one on the other side. Has anyone used those clips. Mine are red plastic. Thanks, Jan
