> 3 dayI love these clips, they are very useful for more than just sewing or quilting! I even use some in the kitchen. Lol I love using them with polar fleece and other thicker fabrics that pins dont do so well in. I bought both the big and the small, I guess I use the small a little more then the large ones, but I I dont regret buying either of them! I have sewn for over 50 years and I owned a fabric and quilt shop for 10 years, so I have seen many new notions come and go, most only last a year or two, but these clips will be around for a long time I believe because the more you use them the more places you realize they can be used.

> 3 dayInstead of using pins, I love using these Wonder Clips. Pins often distort the direction of the fabric you’re sewing. These clips keep everything aligned and securely in place. They are strong, durable and easy to use! They feature great holding capacity for many crafts. They open wide to hold layers of fabric while the clip base is flat for easy feeding to the presser foot. What a great addition to my sewing tools. I highly recommend this product!

> 3 dayGot 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.

> 3 dayI always resisted buying these clips because they were sooo expensive at the local fabric/sewing stores. Luckily Amazon has them for a fabulous price! I bought two packages initially and after using them to help sew bulky bags and purses I cant imagine how I could do without them! They are bar none the best sewing invention in years (since the rotary cutter)! I find I dont need or use them for basic quilt piecing because I am working with less layers and lighter cottons so the clip can weigh the pieces down and be a bit floppy. But these are must have items if you do any type of sewing construction where you are working with multiple layers or heavy fabric! They would be perfect for sewing denim jeans, etc. ever bend a pin or severely stick yourself trying to pin heavy fabrics? These make all of that unnecessary. I did just buy 2 more 50 piece boxes because Amazon has a lower price than the already low price they had a month ago. Stock up now before the price goes up. Why 4 stars? I found 6 dead clips in the first box of 50 I opened. I havent opened any of the others and I suspect I will find them in those boxes as well. Thats the reason I ultimately bought 4 boxes. I cant do without these.

> 3 dayOne pack of these works pretty well for holding binding on the edge of a baby or throw size quilt both for sewing the strip on and for rolling it over. Havent found that I use them over pins for piecing, though. They are faster to put on than pins, but I find that things shift a little when I take them off when piecing. I prefer to pin either far enough to the left that I dont have to remove them or remove them as they go under the front of the presser foot. Either way, nothing shifts.

> 3 dayThrow 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.

> 3 dayA 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!!

> 3 dayLisa Lams book, A Bag For All Reasons, suggested the use of these clips. I was buying something else on Amazon so threw these in to the order, free shipping, you know! I have sewn a few times since receiving the clips and have found them to be quite useful! While sewing a zip pouch for my Etsy shop, Stitchuation, I found the clips easier to use than pins to keep the lining, zipper, and exterior clamped tidily together before and while sewing it all together. Also while keeping bag handles in place before sewing, the clips were much better than pins. I am quite a fan of these clips and thank Lisa Lam for letting me know about them!
