Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

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 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.

Lisa 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!

One 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.

Pros: You dont have to worry about pricking yourself. They grip alright (but theyll pivot a little bit if you force them sideways) Easy to use. They dont require too much force to open. There are measured markings on the bottoms. They come in a sturdy clear plastic box. Cons: You can only use them on the edge. Large pieces of cloth will still need to be secured in the middle. Straight pins can also secure the fabric along the path of the needle, as opposed to just along the very edge, which helps limit warping. You *can* sew past them, but theyll have to be right on the edge, and even then, the fabric wont lie flat against the seam allowance markings. You cant sew right up to or over them the way you can with straight pins. They snag slightly and clatter against the front edge of your machine as you guide your fabric towards the needle and feed dogs.

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!

I bought these for my mother who has arthritis and can no longer grasp and hold straight pins. She seems to really like them, she has been quilting again. She was very excited to receive them. I tried them out and I dont really think they have the holding power of safety pins, which is what use. But, I think theyre great for people who cant grasp normal pins or maybe have a big surface to sew on.

The ones I bought are the genuine ones. They are made in Japan and have a very satisfying glossy smooth finish, strong grip, and smooth action. They are very sturdy. I have been using them for sewing and they work better than pins for most things.

Useful in ways i could not have anticipated. I use these as quick-release paper clips for organizing papers, as mini-clamps in the studio (they dont damage papers the way paper clips do), for fitting, for hemming, on the fridge with a tiny magnet to hold notes.... They are stronger than i ever expected, which is why they keep solving problems i didnt know I had ;-> I just ordered 2 more boxes- one for a friend who actually quilts, the other to break up into smaller batches & give to friends who make handmade books & other artwork. Cannot recommend this highly enough as a gift for people who make things - from fine art to kitsch ;->

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!
