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.

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.

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.

I bought these for a friend. I have some and use them whenever I can instead of pins. They are just the perfect size. Better than being stuck with a pin.

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 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.

The clips are sturdy and are ideal to use when hand binding quilts. I’ve purchased generic clips that end up breaking easily. This brand is quality!

After reading the reviews about these for weeks, I finally decided to buy them. Ive used them a few times in a few different ways and heres what Ive found: - theyre great for thick fabrics and sewing things with multiple layers as they help to keep the fabric flat and from bunching up like what can happen with pins. Theyre also easy to apply than pins can be on thick fabric - theyre not great for thinner fabric or things with really tight seam allowances like a stretch knit maxi dress with a 5/8 inch seam allowance (just sayin). The reason is that as you feed the fabric through your machine you have to remove the clip when your seam allowance is tight which means you end up pulling the fabric a bit to remove the clip and it then distorts the edge youre sewing So in short, I think these are great for certain projects and applications but not for everything so youll still need to hang on to your straight pins.

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 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. :)
