Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

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.

Easy to use, and so much better than pins! I do a lot of stuff with binding, and these clips make it easier. Flat on the clear side so theyll glide along your machine surface, they clip with minimal bunching - way less than pins, and no pricked fingertips! There are places where, obviously, pins are the only alternative, but for edges, hems, bindings, etc., theyre really great.

Sometimes you have to use pins but when I can get by without the pins, I love using these clips. No holes in the fabric.

A 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!!

I LOVE my Clover Wonder Clips. I do a variety of sewing projects. Some involve regular fabrics such as clothing and Home Decor light to medium weight. But I often use upholstery fabric weight for Home decor too. (My daughter-in-law is an interior designer and gives me all her fabric samples). These clips are much better at holding fabric in place than straight pins (no humps) so my fabric feeds evenly (no walking foot needed) so the bottom seam or top seam match! A BIG plus for me : no needle pricks on my fingers. Ive noticed as I get older I bleed much more when sticking myself! I previously ordered just one package of 50. Today I received 2 packages of 50! I will be using these clips on all my sewing - Ill keep my straight pins stored and unused! One last note: They are wonderful when used with a serger.

I was hesitant to buy these because of the counterfeit statements but I found my package to be quality clips. There is no way these are counterfeit. These are definitely Clover clips and an added bonus is the container which corrals the clips. The clips perform as they were intended. Seriously thinking about purchasing another package, a quilter can never have enough clips.

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 ;->

Primary use: Keeping my patterns on the fabric for edges so I dont have a gazillion pins. Keeping my sewing pieces together while on the machine. To keep my knitting pieces together while I hand sew the edges. Pros: Versatile - These work wonders for me. I originally bought them for sewing but I found they work great for knitting projects as well. I pin these on while I hand sew sweaters pieces together. Design - I find that I loose pins ALL the time. My cat loves finding them but I worry that one day me, my husband or my cat will have pins stuck in our feet one day. These are colored brightly and the size is perfect so if I drop or lose them I spot them immediately. Also, if youre clumsy like me, youll rejoice and your fingers will thank you for not being stabbed over and over again. Cons: The design of the box bugs me a slight bit since it wont close unless clips are away from the edges. Youll see what I mean when you get them. But its nothing really, these are fantastic!

I 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.

One thing not mentioned on the product description (that you can see in one of the close-up pictures), is that these clips also have little raised lines on the flat clip base -- these arent just for extra grip, they can actually be used to easily measure placement of clip from the edge of the fabric! Back of package tells you the measurements for each line (3/8, 1/4, and 1/2 when fully inserted); I cut that part of the cardboard packaging and store it inside the plastic case for reference. That has been really helpful when handsewing at a 1/4 seam allowance, so I can more easily judge the placement of stitches. Using the clips has been a lot nicer than lots of pins while I am handsewing with the garment in my lap -- no surprise pokes! Plus, when I reach the clip, I can just remove it and not worry about loose pins (I have been attaching the clips to my shirt when I am done with them, just to keep track of them easier). I havent used them with a sewing machine yet, and one thing to keep in mind is that they do add a bit of weight (so be aware when working with fabrics that stretch). They are great little clips!
