Clips

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/50-100Pcs-C ... .l4275.c10 postage included.
Arrived to rural Vic from NSW in three days! Three Days!
Checked what the vendor had paid in post -was $2, didn't scrimp so I got it quicker. Was the cheapest 50 I could find as well.
Normal snail post bw Vic and anywhere else at the minute seems to be around two weeks. Excellent quality and pressure/spring for the size as well.
Would buy again. No affiliation to the vendor.

Those are cheap. I wonder how long they will last before the plastic fails?

We have the extra long ones as well, about 60mm long.

Mine have had a bit of use already-not lost any so far but don't know long term. I have a feeling they all are the same? I looked at a few different sellers they all seemed to be the same thing at the time? No packaging at all just a wee zip lock.
I would like some longer ones as well.

Still not getting it! What does one need pins for in the bush? The only use I can see for those is as clothes pegs, and clothes pegs are probably lighter! I’d like to believe that I can think laterally, but I’m really stumped with these “clips”!

You don't pin when sewing?
How do you stop fabric from slipping?

Now I understand. Never thought about clipping instead of pinning!

Clips are the way to go. No holes in fabric or fingers.
