Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

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.

They are a great alternative to pinning. They don’t bunch up your fabric the way pinning does and much faster!

These Wonder Clips are an excellent alternative to pins. They are strong, easy to a work with & remove. The are easier to see than pins.

I rarely need to use pins anymore because of these, which means I dont bleed all over the quilts Im making anymore! I make a lot of cosmetic bags and I just couldnt make them as easily with regular pins. These are amazing. They have a nice, secure hold, I can move a project around from work area to work area, drag it all over my lap and these stay put. Amazing for putting a binding on. Seriously, you need to try these, they will change your whole sewing game. Get a big pack, youll want them :)

I saw these in a national retail box store for $49 and thought there had to be a cheaper alternative, so I turned to Amazon and found them for just under $12. As soon as they arrived I tore open the package and set to work on my latest quilt. These are excellent for holding sets of fabric together rather then pinning everything. When I am quilting I like to lay everything out after I have cut all my pieces. I then use the clips to keep the pieces in the appropriate pile so I can just grab the next one and sew them together. They also work great when basting or adding the border/binding. However, while the price was great I have to say that like some others have posted not all my clips are functional. Right out of the box I had 5 that had no tension at all with a few of those having the metal clip wobbling loosely. After using them only twice I am now down another 3 that will no longer hold tension. With 16% of the product already worthless it seems to me that I should expect several more to fail before too long and probably should not expect to have them all last more then a few years. That is a bit disheartening. I understand nothing last forever and anything using tension as a method of holding is bound to have some loosening over time, to have 15%+ fail within a day or two is not at all acceptable. Even with that though this is still a fairly good product that DOES make my time at the sewing machine much easier. I would rather slide a clip off rather than undoingsafety pins or sticking myself every few minutes with a straight pin.

I use these in quilting any time I can rather than use straight pins - for holding cut pieces together, for securing corners and fabric folded on bindings prior to stitching, for holding pieces and labels together, etc. Both this size and the larger size have a space for the fold in the fabric, they hold fabric securely without damaging it, and are easy to attach and remove with my weak hands. Someone wisely said buy them in bulk - 50 pk and that was very good advice. With several stations in my quilting room and a supply bad outfitted for classes, I probably have 200 of the red and 100 of the green and still sometimes run out. GREAT PRODUCT!

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.

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.

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.

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.
