Lace Bits .... Clover clips

I didn't know .... that Clover made these smaller size clips.

I had the Jumbo clips, and the Medium sized clips,

but this smaller size, recently acquired,  -- they are THE BEST.

Who knew?  My third helping hand ... 

Can get them 

easily thru Amazon,

and local craft stores.
