binder clips

If any of you are working on one of the patterns where you sew the top trim to the backing prior to hooking....pay attention ;-)

During the creation of my latest purse, I was having a very hard time pining through the ultrasuede and various other layers, without bending a lot of needles -- and having everything shift around in the process. To solve this problem, I started using binder clips to hold everything in place. By putting many clips close together, everything is help in perfect order -- I just remove each clip as I sew up to it. It's almost like having another pair of hands. Hope you find it just as handy (no pun intended ;-) )
