Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

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!

I almost exclusively use these wonder clips over sewing pins now. They are so easy to use, do not poke holes in my more delicate fabrics, and I dont have to worry about the direction or side I decided to put together before sewing. The little plastic box they came in is also well made.

The clips are sturdy and are ideal to use when hand binding quilts. I’ve purchased generic clips that end up breaking easily. This brand is quality!

At first I was not happy with these at all. I ordered based on sewing friends highly recommending them over pins. My first package over 1/2 of the package the clips were very loose and would not hold onto the package. They were replaced thinking I was sent a defective box. Now the replacement box there are about 1/4 that are loose. Since I was told to keep the defective box, I didnt bother calling back about the replacement. I just chucked the loose ones. I just wish the whole box was as secure as the ones that work great. Hopefully its just that I got a bad batch. I also got a different container as the style of this container is difficult to open and close. I dont think I will be using these all the time, but for some projects that are thicker, these will come in handy.

These are great! Ive been sewing all my life and had never tried these. They havent completely replaced pins for me, but they definitely have made certain things much easier. I absolutely recommend them. Pros: Super easy to use and do not require that much hand dexterity. Doesnt pierce or distort the fabric. Cons: Somewhat heavy when using lighter fabrics. Still need pins for some of the more delicate work. Takes some getting used to.

I bought these from Amazon after my sister raved about them, and a pack of ten at JoAnns was crazy expensive. They cant be used in place of pins in every situation, but for many they are wonderful. I use them when I serge almost exclusively; pins can hurt and the serger knives dont like them at all. These just fly by the knives and needles. I also have the larger ones, but these are the most all purpose. My sister sews on leather, and they hold very securely. After she told me about them, I tried to cheap out and use plastic clothespins--what a mistake. They dont hold strongly enough, and are not as precise. These clips get right up to the seamline and hold securely. JoAnns has a pack of ten for $6.99 online ($10 in the store) and a pack of 50, like these from Amazon, is $32.99 online. I paid $11.99, plus shipping. 5 stars is what they rate!

Tried these after seeing Nancy Zeiman use them. They really help on thick hems where pins may bend or hurt your fingers putting in the pins. I use these as much as I use pins. These are very handy and small enough to get close to the presser foot. I tried using office clips, but they were heavy and the hinge got caught on things...very troublesome when you want a clean straight seam. These work much better...please dont waste your time with cheaper methods like I did. It may cause you a bigger headache in the end. There are a lot of widgits and gizmos out there for sewing...most of which are unnecessary. I know from experience because I have tried a ton of them. This one however is a real helper for sewing.

These work fine and I like that they have seam allowances marked on them. That said, I was all excited to use them, then realized that while theyre slightly easier to use that my pins... I still wont necessarily use them for every project. I like to live dangerously and not pin if the project isnt too crazy. My main goal getting these was to reduce how often I use pins so nobody gets one in their feet accidentally. Youll still need to use pins occasionally because some projects will require you pin further in on the fabric. But using less means you can count them after to make sure they all made it back in the pin box. Not super excited about the box these came in... its okay (sturdy) but I feel like it could be easier to get open and closed because this is the type of box you want to keep and use long term.

I hate pinning. Leaving behind holes, losing pins in the carpet, pricking my fingers,... These are by far the best replacement. They hold on tight, even with very thin & slippery fabric (like double brushed poly) and super thick fabrics (I made slippers & lined blankets). Everything stays in place better than I can pin! The demarcations have different measurements. Im not sure how they are meant to be used, but I use them as a reminder to keep my seam allowance consistent. Id like to add that Im a novice sewist (going on 3 months) but I bought these for my mom (going on 40+ years) and she loves them! Shes diabetic and she doesnt need more pricking with while pinning.

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.
