I have just the clips. They hold the binding very well, but you really need to practice putting them on. The holder is on the 'cheap' side & I have a hard time holding it right. If anyone uses this with success please post some tricks. I does look like a great tool once you get the hang of it. I just use El's way & I havent' had problems with the corners since.

I've always seen those metal clips used in holding papers together not for quilting. The GSA store carries them for anyone that works for the government. They hold really well so I can see that they would work well to hold binding on better then the binding clips (hair clips) that are currently sold in most stores.

I bought this system years ago at a sewing convention in TUlsa and have tried it once, failing miserably. I think I paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 or so. I love the stilletto it came with, thats about the only thing I use. If anyone wants it, let me know via pm

I'm waiting to see if I may get to buy one someone isn't using any more before I order a new one. The guild member said she would show me how to use it.
