What are those clamps called and where can I get them?
Lynn, I just found your comment, they’re called Wonder Clips, I bought mine from eBay or Catch, I can’t remember as I was buying sewing patterns and other things then, and that was a couple of years ago. I use them also to hold binding, lace or velvet when sewing.
