Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

Got these for my wife who quilts. They sat on her table for a few months - unopened. Then last night when she put the edging on a quilt, she came down all happy - Those clips saved a good hour of time I would have spent pinning the edge on to sew it. Lots of other great reviews on this product - thats why I got it it for her as a gift. Good to see it is as useful as others say.

Throw down for the 50 pack because these are so unbelievably handy, you will be using them everywhere. They are much quicker to use than pins and very strong and high quality. They dont have serrated teeth like some clamps, they have little concave dots on one side and convex divets on the other side. They really grab and stay put without damaging delicate fabrics. They are perfect for little areas that a pin would be too long for. The case they come in is a sturdy and secure clamshell plastic case. You couldnt find a better case if you purchased one separately. You will wonder where these have been all your life. These are made in Japan, not cheap China crap.

Useful in ways i could not have anticipated. I use these as quick-release paper clips for organizing papers, as mini-clamps in the studio (they dont damage papers the way paper clips do), for fitting, for hemming, on the fridge with a tiny magnet to hold notes.... They are stronger than i ever expected, which is why they keep solving problems i didnt know I had ;-> I just ordered 2 more boxes- one for a friend who actually quilts, the other to break up into smaller batches & give to friends who make handmade books & other artwork. Cannot recommend this highly enough as a gift for people who make things - from fine art to kitsch ;->

These clips held the three layers of my quilt sandwich just perfectly....I almost did not have enough to clip a full size quilt though, so be sure & order an extra package. Also, you can use them to clip your little squares, circles or whatever quilt pieces you need to organize. I cannot tell you how much you will like these clips. I intend to use them in my office area, instead of those bulky office clips, these are so much easier to work with. Also, you hobby people will find a lot of uses to hold objects together. Next purchase will be the larger size - I am sure I will find uses for those too.

I bought these since I make fabric face masks and want to avoid using pins for basting them which poke holes in the masks. They are perfect for that and I also wonder if I will ever use pins again for anything. I love these things! I thought 50 was overkill but I can have some next to my sewing machine, my ironing board, my cutting board or wherever else I want them and not run out. I was concerned that the Mini clips might be too small to be practical but they are perfect. I also was concerned that they would be difficult to open due to arthritis in my thumbs but I can open them easily. So far I have had no trouble with them breaking and they seem very sturdy.

WOW! I didnt think these would be handy for sewing, but I bought them anyway because I knew I would like them for card making. I dont know how I got along for so long without these miracle clips. They work great! They open easily but do they ever clamp down securely onto several layers of fabric and stay in place until you unclip them. I have broken down the nice storage box the 50 clips came in into 4 containers, because I like them handy in 4 places . . . at my sewing/crafting table, at my sewing machine, at my ironing board, and in my portable hand sewing box. I also gave 10 of these clips to my sister for her to try and she was immediately hooked and is going to order a box. You will love these clips!!!

I saw these in a national retail box store for $49 and thought there had to be a cheaper alternative, so I turned to Amazon and found them for just under $12. As soon as they arrived I tore open the package and set to work on my latest quilt. These are excellent for holding sets of fabric together rather then pinning everything. When I am quilting I like to lay everything out after I have cut all my pieces. I then use the clips to keep the pieces in the appropriate pile so I can just grab the next one and sew them together. They also work great when basting or adding the border/binding. However, while the price was great I have to say that like some others have posted not all my clips are functional. Right out of the box I had 5 that had no tension at all with a few of those having the metal clip wobbling loosely. After using them only twice I am now down another 3 that will no longer hold tension. With 16% of the product already worthless it seems to me that I should expect several more to fail before too long and probably should not expect to have them all last more then a few years. That is a bit disheartening. I understand nothing last forever and anything using tension as a method of holding is bound to have some loosening over time, to have 15%+ fail within a day or two is not at all acceptable. Even with that though this is still a fairly good product that DOES make my time at the sewing machine much easier. I would rather slide a clip off rather than undoingsafety pins or sticking myself every few minutes with a straight pin.

Rarely do I find a product with so many five star ratings and a handful of four stars with nothing but positive comments, I decided I needed to try these for myself and see what all the fuss was about. Im just sorry my first order was for only ten. Here I am, back for more. These things are the greatest invention since sliced bread! In my twenty plus years of quilting, Ive come across some good and some not so great notions . . .this is one of only a handful I wouldnt want to be without. They hold the binding tightly to the quilt making stitching so much easier and faster. No more pricks from pins while wielding heavy quilts at the machine. The binding stays on securely until its stitched down.

I use these in quilting any time I can rather than use straight pins - for holding cut pieces together, for securing corners and fabric folded on bindings prior to stitching, for holding pieces and labels together, etc. Both this size and the larger size have a space for the fold in the fabric, they hold fabric securely without damaging it, and are easy to attach and remove with my weak hands. Someone wisely said buy them in bulk - 50 pk and that was very good advice. With several stations in my quilting room and a supply bad outfitted for classes, I probably have 200 of the red and 100 of the green and still sometimes run out. GREAT PRODUCT!

The real reason I bought this was because I just wanted to spend money that I dont have. My expectations were that I was getting a gimmicky item I wouldnt use. However, having left all my pins at another house I used them. They are way easier. Also, way better as the fabric layers stay flat and dont pucker. The hold is tight enough they hold strong. I had multiple layers of fabric with different folds in the one layer, and should normally have tacked the first folds before pinning the next layer, but having the pinch clips at the edge of the fabric was better and I easily just went straight to my machine. I dont know how to say why that this was so much easier and better, but really it just was. Glad to use these instead of pins whenever possible.
