> 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 dayI do a lot of large item embroidery and I love the way the Jumbo Wonder Clips hold the fabric out of the way of the embroidery needles.

Greater than one weekThese are fantastic, so much better than pins! Faster and dont prick! I do find that because I bought the non-jumbo version as well, I use those about 90% of the time because I prefer the way they clip close to the edge, but I like these to ensure those slippery fabrics stay together. I have been very impressed at how well they hold fabrics together.

> 3 dayComparison of Jumbo Clips. I decided to buy some jumbo clips, and figured I would buy two varieties and compare them. They arrived today. I havent used them yet, but here are some thoughts. There is a price difference, (though we are not talking about the amount that would break the bank for a couple dozen clips). I bought a pack of Urbest (25 for $7.99), and a pack of Clover (24 for $11.72). They are the same size and shape. The Clover clips have seam allowance markings noted on the flat bottom(1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1). The Urbest has unnoted markings on the bottom, but only line up at the 1 mark. <side-note-I would probably never use any of those markings anyway>) The Clover ones have a bit more tensile strength when pinched, but I think that would only be an issue if they were used for holding a bunch of suspended weight. The plastic just felt a little more substantial in the Clover clips, so I weighed them to see if I was imagining it. The Urbest weighed in at 13 clips for 2 ounces, while the Clover weighed in at 11 clips for 2 ounces. Bottom line- Both are fine, Urbest came in more colors and was less money. If I had to give one set away, I would let go of the Urbest, but I am happy with both and will mix them together.

> 3 dayI like clover clips and these are great. The bigger size comes in handy for larger projects or stacks of fabric to be kept together. I think this is a must have for quilters....along with the smaller red clips. They are useful around the house too!

> 3 dayI use these large clips to hold my knitted pieces together as I seam them together. I love these! I also bought the small red ones for sewing use and they are one of the best purchases Ive made!

> 3 dayNot sure how I lived without these clips before! I purchased these jumbo clips at the same time as the regular size red Wonder Clips and find myself using both types on my sewing projects. The red clips come with a storage box but these green jumbo clips do not so you will need to have a storage bag or box for them as the zip bag is not useful while clipping things. I have a 2 pocket cloth tool belt (really cheap at any home improvement store) and put the 2 different types in the pockets. Keeps them at the ready! These jumbo clips are very useful for clipping multiple layers of fabric together when doing measurements and cuts. I was able to clip 8 layers of burlap together with room to spare. It is SO much faster than pinning (and does not draw blood when accidentally brushed against :) ). Additionally, I can save a bunch of time by using the measuring marks on the clips instead of tedious 1/4 or 1/2 inch measurements before pinning. The clips also make it easy to flip and turn fabric (in my case, large curtains) without disturbing where it is clipped. These are also so much better for the actual sewing with the machine as pins wind up stabbing me too often as I feed the fabric. However, the jumbo clips are only useful if you are hemming more than 3/4 inch due to clips nose clearance with the machines needle. I will alternate pins and clips when sewing less than 3/4 inch and remove the clips as I get close to them. They keep the fabric so much flatter and more even than pins! They also help when sewing a stretchy fabric like jersey as it keeps it in place better without stretching like pins are wont to do. Have used these clips over the past 3 months on many projects, and have never lost one due to a broken spring or plastic breakage. Great product!

> 3 dayI cant say enough about this product. I have disabilities that make it very hard to manage pins. this is much easier to place things on my projects and to line up quilts and other sewing projects to sew. I have both these and the regular wonder clips. I use both as I find it useful for different projects. I am glad I purchased both as they are my go to instead of pins now and my life is much easier now.
