Greater than one weekThese 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.

> 3 dayEasy 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.

> 3 dayA 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!!

27-11-2024I 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.

Greater than one weekNovice at sewing. Was tired of sticking myself with regular pins so after seeing multiple videos online of people using these clips i purchase a box. They work well for a fumble fingered person like myself. Easy to place and remove while sewing masks for our family. Theyre not big enough to use on a clothes line but fabric is easily held.

> 3 dayThese wonder clips are a great invention. They were recommended by a fb group I belong to and I am very glad I bought them. They are the right size for most projects.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayI think these clips are the greatest quilting innovation Ive seen in a long time. They hold the binding in place beautifully and I just zipped through hand sewing the binding on my most recent (HUGE) quilt. There is a video you can find online by Clover that shows how to use the measurements on the clips to stitch in the ditch with precision when applying the binding. I really didnt find that to be as easy as it looked in the video. It was a compelling demo though. For those of you who can master that, there are ruler increments on the clear side. The bonus to the advantages I already mentioned is the fact that you will no longer be stabbed by pins while your trying to get that binding on. YAY!! That alone, for me, was a great reason to get the clips. Buy them now! You wont be sorry!

Greater than one weekI 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.
