Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

I LOVE my Clover Wonder Clips. I do a variety of sewing projects. Some involve regular fabrics such as clothing and Home Decor light to medium weight. But I often use upholstery fabric weight for Home decor too. (My daughter-in-law is an interior designer and gives me all her fabric samples). These clips are much better at holding fabric in place than straight pins (no humps) so my fabric feeds evenly (no walking foot needed) so the bottom seam or top seam match! A BIG plus for me : no needle pricks on my fingers. Ive noticed as I get older I bleed much more when sticking myself! I previously ordered just one package of 50. Today I received 2 packages of 50! I will be using these clips on all my sewing - Ill keep my straight pins stored and unused! One last note: They are wonderful when used with a serger.

I am in school for accessories design and we make leather shoes and handbags. My teachers all use simple binder clips to hold the leathers together, but I found they werent sturdy enough and the ends of them were easily caught on the machine when I was sewing. I was looking for a better solution and found these wonder clips. They hold the leather firmly, but dont end up gouging leather unless its extremely soft. Even if it does leave a little mark it will go away with a few rubs of your fingers. They are so easy to use and easy to grab them off the fabric as you are sewing- so much better than those terrible binder clips that have strange rough edges and gaps. These are super sturdy clips and I cannot say enough good things about them. If you are considering them at all just go ahead and buy a pack- you wont be sorry! Worth every penny- and everyone in class is always trying to borrow them and asking where to get a pack of their own :)

I am sewing waxed canvas seat cushions for an Airstream trailer I am renovating and needed something stronger than pins to hold the pieces of waxed canvas together when sewing. These worked great! They hold the fabric together well while still being able to apply and remove easily. No issues so far!

These clips have several advantages over pins. First, they are more visible. Pin sometimes get left in and go under the needle, but you cant miss these clips. Second, the clips attach to the cloth as you hold it flat--no bending the cloth to get the pins in and possible shifting one layer away from the other. Third, and the best of all for me, is that I dont have to worry that I might accidentally leave these out and have a cat swallow one (cats do that sort of thing). A cat could swallow a pin, but these are just too bulky. The clips are small, but easy to hold and they seem sturdy. They even have seam measurements on them though I have not found those particularly useful.

I use these for sewing and piecing together knitting. They’re fantastic, durable, easy to use. Faster than pinning sometimes

So far Im in love with these clips. I had hear nothing but good about them and never though to get them till I started sewing diaper inserts. The inverts I was sewing were very thick. Pins didnt work because of that odd bend in the fabric you get then you try to pin something to thick. I then attempted to use normal metal office clips but the very small ones. They worked but boy were my fingers sore and had to jam the fabric into them since they wouldt get wide enough clip. I get these in the mail and had wished I had them all along. I didnt know what I was missing out on. Something to consider if you use PUL material you dont want put unnecessary holes in it so this is a good option. Also if you quilt this is going to be great for that especially if you have a weaker grip than most.

I hate pinning. Leaving behind holes, losing pins in the carpet, pricking my fingers,... These are by far the best replacement. They hold on tight, even with very thin & slippery fabric (like double brushed poly) and super thick fabrics (I made slippers & lined blankets). Everything stays in place better than I can pin! The demarcations have different measurements. Im not sure how they are meant to be used, but I use them as a reminder to keep my seam allowance consistent. Id like to add that Im a novice sewist (going on 3 months) but I bought these for my mom (going on 40+ years) and she loves them! Shes diabetic and she doesnt need more pricking with while pinning.

I absolutely LOVE these clips! I bought them to hold binding in place on a very large quilt, and they do the job perfectly; they hold firmly, do not leave any marks or creases, are very easy to pull off as Im sewing AND ~ the really big plus ~ they do not bite like pins!! Ive started using them for other things as well...i.e. to hold fabric strips together before I pin them. The Amazon price was fantastically good~ I bought the 50 packs for $13.00 each ~ the best price I have ever seen for these. ( I got 4 boxes, and so glad I did...used almost all of them for the large quilt ) At local Joannes they are $7.99 for a 10 pack! I would recommend these to anyone who quilts or sews!!! Worth every penny.

These are just cool! This was one of those impulse purchases; I didnt know I needed them until they popped up from another search I was doing, and the reviews were so great I thought Id give them a try. They really work and are well made. My husband commented on how strong the grip was! One note, however - if you have blond moments like I do, be careful about how you open the box. I opened it upside down and I was a devil to get the clips back in. Once I figured out how the container was SUPPOSED to open, I had no issues. But just a word to the wise since I totally spazzed on it!

Reading all the reviews I figured these clips would be a lifesaver. Well, I guess I was wrong. Heres my take on them: Pros - you cant stick yourself with a needle - they have markings for seam allowances Cons - they are bulky - they take up a lot of space when stored - you cannot sew over them as you can with pins if you place them perpendicular to your seam - they are a pain to take off close to your presser foot Oh, did I mention you cannot sew over them? Right. Seriously, I dont understand the hype around these things. Even at half price off they are way overpriced compared to regular sewing pins. You can get 100 pins of varying lengths, ballpoint, etc. for $5 easily. These cost 3 times as much when half-price off and dont get the job done as precisely as pins. I sew a lot with stretch and PUL fabric and they are worthless in that area. Plus, if you sew clothes or other items you usually mark your seamline anyway or you use the gauge on the maching; so there really is no need for the seam markings on the clips. Perhaps they are more useful than pins for quilters or people sewing with multiple thick layers, but for clothesmaking they certainly are not. ***UPDATE 09/25 Based on the comments on my review, it seems that I have hit a sensitive spot by even bringing up the fact that one could possibly sew over pins. Admittedly, I sometimes sew over pins, perpendicular to the seam-very slowly and with a larger stitch length. Is it the preferred course of action-no, but certain types of fabric do require it from time to time. (However, I certainly do not sew over pins with my serger.) Regardless of one sews over perependicular pins or not, these clips are still way overpriced. Perhaps quilters are happy with them and love them for their binding, nonethless, garment sewers who might use these only occassionally can get binder clips and get away much cheaper.
