Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

These are great! Ive been sewing all my life and had never tried these. They havent completely replaced pins for me, but they definitely have made certain things much easier. I absolutely recommend them. Pros: Super easy to use and do not require that much hand dexterity. Doesnt pierce or distort the fabric. Cons: Somewhat heavy when using lighter fabrics. Still need pins for some of the more delicate work. Takes some getting used to.

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.

Pricey, but would buy again. These are handy for numerous craft creations. Takes the place of pins..no more pricked fingers.

Saw these on the Amazon website and was intrigued. Since I had a Gift Card I added the package to my shopping cart while purchasing other items. When the items I arrived, I happened to be in the process of altering the hems on 4 pairs of jeans. I experimented with the first pair of jeans. They worked great, held the temporary hem securely while moving around the free-arm of my Janome sewing machine as I stitched. Easy to remove as the needle approached the clip. I had all the jeans altered in no time. Best part - no more pricked fingers from straight pins rotating around the free-arm!!! I know these will work well with quilt binding as well. I may be ordering a few more packages so I have enough on hand for various projects.

I dont know why, but I hate pinning! I always put them in the wrong way, I always stab myself, I always drop them on the floor & I always end up bunching the fabric. These dont completely eliminate the need for pins because obviously you need a free edge in order to clip, but I use these now 90% of the time. Theyre easy to see if you drop them on the floor & theyre super easy remove no matter which direction youre sewing in. I love that they have a flat side for keeping your work neat and they have the perfect tension so that they never slip. They are certainly not neccesary for sewing but, if like me, you hate to pin they will make sewing a lot more enjoyable.

Recently, I discovered the little red clips called Wonder Clips by Clover. They are excellent for holding down the binding to the quilt top during the handsewing part. They grip well and can be used to keep curved seams in place during the piecing process and so on. I have used them in place of straight pins when several layers of fabric were involved for a small project. The delivery was very prompt and in fact arrived earlier than the promised delivery period. The well wrapped package arrived in excellent condition. Hint: the package of 50 clips (as compared to packages of 10) may seem a lot, but I have used every one of them on my quilts. Great product and great service.

I bought these to replace pins when sewing a costume made of fake fur. Not only were they a dream to use and a lifesaver (really keep the fabric in place), I swear they improved my seams and made everything more even. Im now wondering what other difficult fabrics they might work on. I bought the clover brand instead of a larger quantity of cheap ones because I wanted to be sure the quality was good. These clips are really nice. However, other cheaper versions may be just as good, Ive never tried them. But the clip concept overall is fantastic!

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.

Easy to use, well-made from jewel-like plastic, these clips are, for some jobs, a worthy substitute for pins. In particular, for holding bias binding in place, which can be a prickly affair with pins, but not any more. These clips grip, rather than pierce the fabric, which might be important for some fabrics. They are supplied in a clear, easy to open box. Unlike bulldog clips these Wonder Clips remain tangle-free in the box, making them easy to select. I am sure these Wonder Clips will find their way into projects other than sewing. Their ease of use and versatility will soon have you forgetting about their price compared to a pack of pins. Brilliant product.

I purchased these after reading glowing reviews but really didnt expect to use them for much more than the occasional quilting. Was I wrong! These clips have replaced pins for me in 90% of my garment construction. Once you get in the habit of using them, they are just as quick and easy as pins and totally eliminate the possibility of hitting an overlooked pin with your sewing machine. Also, no more crawling around on my hands and knees looking for dropped pins before they end up in my foot. And finally, if you are teaching children to sew, these are fantastic! Much safer than pins. Wonder clips hold your fabric together tightly. The clip opens wide and even has 1/4 and 1/2 guide lines marked to help you clip your desired seam width. The bottom of the clip is flat so they move smoothly on your sewing surface. Use them just like you would use pins when sewing seams. Where they really shine, in my opinion, is when used with delicate fabrics that are easily marred by pins. I am using these while Im sewing my daughters wedding gown. It is silk charmeuse, which is very lightweight and the satiny surface is easily damaged. The slighted hint of a burr on even silk pins would mar the fabric. With these clips, I have not used a single pin in construction. The clips easily hold two layers of this very thin fabric together with zero shifting. The spring in the clip is strong enough that the clip bruises the fabric slightly so I am careful to clip only within the seam allowance however, the bruising disappears when I press after stitching. I think these are a must for fabrics like chiffons and silks, leathers and suedes, vinyl, sequined or beaded fabric, etc., but I find that I use them for everything now! (Clover also makes these clips in a jumbo size, which is perfect for quilting.) If you sew, you will be happy to have these.
