Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

This is a great product, but I probably couldve just used the mini binder clips I have in my office if I had thought about it before buying these. I just started quilting and Im definitely a wing-it type of person. If its close enough, then its good enough for me. Definitely not a professional here - I figure if my quilt top doesnt line up, Ill just trim off the edges and the quilt will be smaller than I originally intended by an inch or two. I intentionally avoid patterns that require high accuracy. The clips have markings for seam allowances and such, but mostly I use them to just clip the edges of my sewing projects without stabbing myself with pins, so Im not really using the markings on the clips. They work great though! Easy to clip on, unclip as I go, no blood stains from pin pricks, and the hard plastic carrying case is awesome for storage - Im not having to reach into a zipper baggie because Im too cheap to go out and buy a container specifically for the product. The bright red/hard plastic is also nice. Ive accidentally left pins in my quilts that I didnt see and found with my flesh. Ive also dropped pins on the carpet where I have to STOP EVERYTHING and find it so I dont forget about it or step on it. If I drop one of these its easy to find, and not quite so urgent.

I bought these for my mother who has arthritis and can no longer grasp and hold straight pins. She seems to really like them, she has been quilting again. She was very excited to receive them. I tried them out and I dont really think they have the holding power of safety pins, which is what use. But, I think theyre great for people who cant grasp normal pins or maybe have a big surface to sew on.

I love these clips. I love them when I work with binding on a small or large quilt. I love them especially now that Im starting to work with knit fabric. They come in handy for fabric that get damaged if they get poked with sewing pins. For instance, for when I sew my daughters cloth diapers, I use these and no holes in the PUL fabric! This is the second box Ive bought and they pretty well made. Havent had one clip break on me yet! They also lay flat as they come up to the sewing machine. Just make sure they are far enough from your sewing foot so they get caught in the needle.

I love these Wonder Clips and not just for my sewing projects! These are so strong and handy I find uses for them all over the home. I especially like them for their intended use in the sewing room as after years of sewing I was really tired of always getting stuck with the pins that held my projects together. I used lots of them to hold the edges of some fleece together for a blanket for our grandaughter, normal pins would disappear in the nap and I always ended up finding them when they would imbed themselves in my arm as I would fold the completed blanket up after I finished sewing it together, not so with the clips, you remove them as you come to them as you are sewing the seam. I also love that you are left with no pin holes in finer fabrics, I was finding that even the thinnest tiniest pins would leave holes in some of the finer fabrics, well no more, the clips go in the seam allowance and dont stab my arms as they make their way up to the presser foot of my machine. The price for these on Amazon is fantastic! I had bought two of the ten packs at the store and paid more for those 20 clips than I did for this pack here and got more than twice as many in this pack, even using a coupon at the store Amazon was less expensive!

I love these clips! They make sewing much easier and I dont have to worry about damaging my fabrics. They are easy to open but still maintain a strong grip on the material. I wish they were a little cheaper though...I paid about $15 for this box of 50clips (including s/h), so they are much, much more expensive than using pins but I guess you pay for the convenience. They were still a lot cheaper on here than they were in the store, I think walmart sells a box of about 15clips for $12, and joanna fabrics had the box of 50clips selling for a little over $30! Over-all, I highly recommend these and will definitely be buying some more. :)

I love using these clips instead of pins in sewing projects. They hold fabric tightly and have the advantage of not pricking unsuspecting fingers

I bought these based upon the reviews. I use them in sewing garments - to hold hems in place or to hold seams on slippery material. They are also great for putting straps together correctly. Much easier for sewing than taking the risk of going over pins, or trying to find and pull out the pins while sewing up a seam. These clips dont slide past the presser foot on my Janome sewing machine well, because there is a little knob out the right side of the foot, but they go right past the presser foot on my Singer machine. The only difficulty I had was in opening the box initially; its tricky. I therefore dont close it all the way, but leave it ajar by about 1/8 and put a rubber band around it.

Sometimes you have to use pins but when I can get by without the pins, I love using these clips. No holes in the fabric.

I love these things! I do a lot of draping and alterations, and these clips are way easier to use than pins. No more poking myself when I’m moving too fast, or when I can’t quite see where my hands are (reaching up under a skirt or the like), and I don’t have to worry about anyone getting stabbed when trying on a pinned garment. They are also very quick and easy to remove when I need sew a tiny hem on the machine, and the pins/clips need to come out just before passing under the presser foot. Get the large green ones too. You’ll need them for thicker fabrics, holding together multi layered garments, and gathered waistbands.

A well made product by Clover. The 50 pack come in its own plastic box, unlike the ten pack. Like most of Clover products, they are made in Japan, function as they are supposed to and are durable. I have been using these to hold small quilting like projects together for about six months (bought the ten pack to try them, had to buy the big box I liked them so much), and they have never failed me. Not one has broken, lost tension or in anyway failed to perform as they were when new. I have even stepped on them and didnt damage them (not recommended to do, just an observation). The Wonder clips hold firmly and dont fall off when moving the project around, what more could one ask? I hate pinning; for me it is a skill that I havent achieved yet, and with the Wonder Clips I dont know if I will ever need to. The only problem I have had was using them to hold a hem on a pair of jeans, they held the way should but there wasnt enough clearance under the free arm of my sewing machine (Brother XR1300) and a few would get caught and fall off. Not the fault of the Wonder Clips or Brother, just the way it is. Dont hesitate to buy these!!
