Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

This is an interesting product for the sewist. I saw these clips in one of my sewing and fabric store ads but they were very expensive. Looked like something I wanted to try, so I ran to Amazon to see what the price was and it was just a fraction of the sewing store price. I do like them in place of pins, the only problem I can see is that on flimsy fabrics, they are a bit heavy when you are using a lot of them. They are great, though, when sewing on fabrics that leave pin holes. I havent used them when sewing bias tape but I think they would be really helpful for that, as well. I do recommend for your stash of sewing toys.

These clips held the three layers of my quilt sandwich just perfectly....I almost did not have enough to clip a full size quilt though, so be sure & order an extra package. Also, you can use them to clip your little squares, circles or whatever quilt pieces you need to organize. I cannot tell you how much you will like these clips. I intend to use them in my office area, instead of those bulky office clips, these are so much easier to work with. Also, you hobby people will find a lot of uses to hold objects together. Next purchase will be the larger size - I am sure I will find uses for those too.

When I saw these Clover Wonder Clips, I had to give them a try. They are like mini-clamps, and youll find them helpful for all kinds of crafting functions, including: 1) Applied Binding for Quilts -- That needs to be hand tacked, and these clips hold the fold over to make it easier on your hands. Yes, I also use spring clips, but Wonder Clips are just a little bit nicer. 2) Sewing Vinyl or Laminated Fabrics, you cant use pins because theyll leave permanent holes. Mini binder clips slide off, but Wonder Clips stay in place. 3) Gluing Layers -- paper, fabric, etc. Holds everything in place until the glue dries. There are measured markings on these clips that you might find useful. Use the clip like a gauge. The price on the box of 50 Wonder Clips cant be beat! The pack of 50 comes in a hard storage box. Also available in a package of ten clips.

These clips are a product that, until recently, I didnt know existed. I have a big family and with little ones making their way into every corner of the house I have to be extremely careful with pins. Ive had to give myself a small number of pins to work with at a time which I count each time Im done using them. Of one is missing I have to search around and use a magnet until I find it. Now I can use all the clips I want without worrying about them falling on the floor. The clips themselves work well. I expected them to be larger but now that Ive used them I feel the size is just right. Theyre exceptionally well made and I can see them lasting for years even with frequent use. With this quality comes weight. While theyre very lightweight compared to most things theyre quite heavy compared to pins. This weighs down your fabric, making it floppy when youre sewing. Its certainly not a deal breaker and I think these clips are wonderful despite that. Theyre so good that Im back to buy another set of the small red ones as well as a couple sets of the larger green ones for quilting.

I love these clips. I love them when I work with binding on a small or large quilt. I love them especially now that Im starting to work with knit fabric. They come in handy for fabric that get damaged if they get poked with sewing pins. For instance, for when I sew my daughters cloth diapers, I use these and no holes in the PUL fabric! This is the second box Ive bought and they pretty well made. Havent had one clip break on me yet! They also lay flat as they come up to the sewing machine. Just make sure they are far enough from your sewing foot so they get caught in the needle.

This is a great product, but I probably couldve just used the mini binder clips I have in my office if I had thought about it before buying these. I just started quilting and Im definitely a wing-it type of person. If its close enough, then its good enough for me. Definitely not a professional here - I figure if my quilt top doesnt line up, Ill just trim off the edges and the quilt will be smaller than I originally intended by an inch or two. I intentionally avoid patterns that require high accuracy. The clips have markings for seam allowances and such, but mostly I use them to just clip the edges of my sewing projects without stabbing myself with pins, so Im not really using the markings on the clips. They work great though! Easy to clip on, unclip as I go, no blood stains from pin pricks, and the hard plastic carrying case is awesome for storage - Im not having to reach into a zipper baggie because Im too cheap to go out and buy a container specifically for the product. The bright red/hard plastic is also nice. Ive accidentally left pins in my quilts that I didnt see and found with my flesh. Ive also dropped pins on the carpet where I have to STOP EVERYTHING and find it so I dont forget about it or step on it. If I drop one of these its easy to find, and not quite so urgent.

These are definetly the true Wonder Clips and they work great for tightly securing your quilting layers, bindings, etc. Plus, you get a good, sturdy, easy open and close storage box. However, BEWARE if you have arthritis in your fingers and/or thumbs, these are not for you!! They take a great deal of finger strength to use.

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.

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.

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.
