Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

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!!

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!

Purchased these after watching a quilting video on Craftsy. These have so many uses that they are now indispensable to my sewing. They hold glued items together, hold seams together while sewing and are great for measuring adjustments on clothing while on children who are 100% sure you are going to stick them with a pin! They are small enough not to be a hinderance and strong enough to temporarily hold things. I recommend them as a must have sewing tool. I read that some folks thought they were pricey, but I think they are a tool that is worth paying for given the benefit they provide and the quality of the product.

I had one set of Clover clips, really needed more. They are great to use for holding the binding as you sew. Not cheap, but also not cheaply made. Great quality item. Highly recommend Clover products.

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.

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.

I saw these in a national retail box store for $49 and thought there had to be a cheaper alternative, so I turned to Amazon and found them for just under $12. As soon as they arrived I tore open the package and set to work on my latest quilt. These are excellent for holding sets of fabric together rather then pinning everything. When I am quilting I like to lay everything out after I have cut all my pieces. I then use the clips to keep the pieces in the appropriate pile so I can just grab the next one and sew them together. They also work great when basting or adding the border/binding. However, while the price was great I have to say that like some others have posted not all my clips are functional. Right out of the box I had 5 that had no tension at all with a few of those having the metal clip wobbling loosely. After using them only twice I am now down another 3 that will no longer hold tension. With 16% of the product already worthless it seems to me that I should expect several more to fail before too long and probably should not expect to have them all last more then a few years. That is a bit disheartening. I understand nothing last forever and anything using tension as a method of holding is bound to have some loosening over time, to have 15%+ fail within a day or two is not at all acceptable. Even with that though this is still a fairly good product that DOES make my time at the sewing machine much easier. I would rather slide a clip off rather than undoingsafety pins or sticking myself every few minutes with a straight pin.

I bought these for my mother who has arthritis and can no longer grasp and hold straight pins. She seems to really like them, she has been quilting again. She was very excited to receive them. I tried them out and I dont really think they have the holding power of safety pins, which is what use. But, I think theyre great for people who cant grasp normal pins or maybe have a big surface to sew on.

The 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.

I love using these clips instead of pins in sewing projects. They hold fabric tightly and have the advantage of not pricking unsuspecting fingers
