No need for clips to hold the vine to the twine, for the vines will "twine" around the twine. Bean vines are very tacky at their growth tips, and will cling to the twine easily. Sometimes the vine needs a little help getting started in its attachment to the twine. All vines will circle the twine in the same direction (counterclockwise when looking downward), so don't try to make them circle in the other direction.
