> 3 daySo 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.

> 3 dayRecently, I discovered the little red clips called Wonder Clips by Clover. They are excellent for holding down the binding to the quilt top during the handsewing part. They grip well and can be used to keep curved seams in place during the piecing process and so on. I have used them in place of straight pins when several layers of fabric were involved for a small project. The delivery was very prompt and in fact arrived earlier than the promised delivery period. The well wrapped package arrived in excellent condition. Hint: the package of 50 clips (as compared to packages of 10) may seem a lot, but I have used every one of them on my quilts. Great product and great service.

> 3 dayBought this as a gift a long time ago. I figured better late than never... My mother in law is one of those master quilter types. She makes beautiful quilts and wall hangings. When I drew her name for secret santa, I hit the web and tried to find creative gifts that relate to her hobby/passion. Well, these fit the bill. She loved them. Of course, she had already been using them for however long, but she appreciated the fact that I did some research and thought into it anyhow.

> 3 dayEasy 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.

> 3 dayI purchased a box of 50 from a local store and absolutely loved them. I used them to hold the binding on quilts and still do. They are fantastic, much better than pins. They hold without puckering the material! and if you machine bind your quilts, the markings on the clips (a little hard to see) do really help you not catch the binding on the front while stitching the binding on the back side of the quilt. Reason for 2 stars: I loved these so much I purchased an additional 50 pack box here on Amazon. When I started using them it was bad, bad, bad. About half of the clips broke on first use. The metal strip that hold the clip tight became loose making the clip useless. I was so disappointed! I can understand a few breaking but 50 percent is just unacceptable. I dont know if I just received a bad batch or the company has changed the metal they are using. Either way it makes me a little hesitant of ordering them again. Surprisingly I received an email from Amave (the seller) asking me how my shopping experience was. I explained what happened and told them that I didnt feel like it was their fault, they didnt manufacture them, which is why I hadnt contacted them. To my surprise they emailed me back and refunded the purchase price as they said they didnt feel like I should be out the money. WOW! great customer service!!!!

> 3 dayWOW! I didnt think these would be handy for sewing, but I bought them anyway because I knew I would like them for card making. I dont know how I got along for so long without these miracle clips. They work great! They open easily but do they ever clamp down securely onto several layers of fabric and stay in place until you unclip them. I have broken down the nice storage box the 50 clips came in into 4 containers, because I like them handy in 4 places . . . at my sewing/crafting table, at my sewing machine, at my ironing board, and in my portable hand sewing box. I also gave 10 of these clips to my sister for her to try and she was immediately hooked and is going to order a box. You will love these clips!!!

> 3 dayAfter 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.

> 3 dayThe original Clover clips are fantastic. So easy to use and no puncture wounds from pins. The design, plastic quality and spring steel quality all make these better than anything produced out of China. Good for years and years of use. Never had one break.

> 3 dayWhen 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.

Greater than one weekThe 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!
