The instructions say to sew it

But what can I use instead of pins to keep it in position while I sew?

you can get clips runnyeyes - like this

amazon.co.uk

they're like mini bulldog clips, and very useful if you've got thick layers of fabric

Do you have any small bulldog clips? That might work.

Paper clips work fine - I’ve also used clothes pegs before now

Fabulous ideas. Thank you so much. I’ve ordered some Wonderclips ( not on a slow boat from China) but I’m tempted to try paperclips or pegs as well.
