Ok, so I've been using these on my cakes (with success) for a while. But I can never figure out an easy and secure way to attach these to the cake pans. I try using the little pin that comes with it, but it never holds very tight and ends up slipping off the bottom of the pan when I move it. I've tried safety pins and no success either. I also tried the black binder clips thing but my cake ends up rising and sticking to them. Ugh.....
Any help would be appreciated!!
I put the strips on the pan, wet the strips (turning the pan upside down) under the sink, then take of the strips off holding it in place, then put on the pin (slightly tighter). Lastly, I slip the wet strip back onto the pan. That's the only way I've figure out how to do it w/o the strip falling off the pan. The big paper clip trick sounds good too... will try that.
I, too, use paper clips most of the time. The trick with getting those T pins to hold is to start pushing them in toward the end of the strip in the same direction as the strip is wrapped, then flip the pin over and push it away from the end. Does that make sense? You are in effect trapping some fibers from underneath and twisting them to help hold the pin securely. Don't go too far at first or you won't be able to flip the pin around- you just want a small bit to tighten against. Words fail me this morning... 
I keep my strip rolled into a cylinder and pinned with a slanted shaped T pin, put them in a pan of water and weight them down with something heavy like a large can of soup. Otherwise they want to bob to the top of the water. After they are completely soaked I squeeze them slightly, unroll and put them on the pan and pin with the T pin. The slanted pins make it easier to slip in securely. I understand they are now making them with Velcro closings, mine need replacing soon anyway so I may try them.
