Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

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!

I wanted to try these clips after seeing them at a sewing demonstration. They work extremely well on hems and binding and hold the fabric well. They are easy to apply, there is no risk of pricking ones fingers, and they are easy to remove as you sew. They are also useful for making bags, as they hold the layers of fabric extremely well. On bags, if the opening is small they become a little awkward - I was topstitching the opening of one bag which just fit over the base of my machine and the clips were slightly bulky in this one situation. I am glad that I brought two packs.

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.

I love these clips! They make sewing much easier and I dont have to worry about damaging my fabrics. They are easy to open but still maintain a strong grip on the material. I wish they were a little cheaper though...I paid about $15 for this box of 50clips (including s/h), so they are much, much more expensive than using pins but I guess you pay for the convenience. They were still a lot cheaper on here than they were in the store, I think walmart sells a box of about 15clips for $12, and joanna fabrics had the box of 50clips selling for a little over $30! Over-all, I highly recommend these and will definitely be buying some more. :)

I have not used a pin since I bought these. I loved them so much that I ordered two more sets. They make holding seams in place so much easier than pins, and Ive never been very good at matching seams before. Theyre easy to use and also prevent accidentally sewing over pins, because theres no way you dont notice them as they approach the needle. I was worried that they couldnt hold tightly enough. I was wrong. Ive had no slippage. Edited to add: Since I bought these and used them myself, I ordered more for gifts to send to sewing friends. But theirs werent as nice as mine. I just found out, 12/12/2014, that some Amazon vendors are selling counterfeit products with almost exactly the same packaging. Clovers website: http://www.clover-usa.com/ shows an announcement that gets you to this pdf file: http://clovercatalog.com/wc/wc.pdf That is how you tell if you have the real ones or the knock-offs. I find myself wondering if the low star reviewers had the real product or the counterfeit clips? Mine are great, but the ones I gave my friends are crap. This really needs to get fixed.

I dont know why, but I hate pinning! I always put them in the wrong way, I always stab myself, I always drop them on the floor & I always end up bunching the fabric. These dont completely eliminate the need for pins because obviously you need a free edge in order to clip, but I use these now 90% of the time. Theyre easy to see if you drop them on the floor & theyre super easy remove no matter which direction youre sewing in. I love that they have a flat side for keeping your work neat and they have the perfect tension so that they never slip. They are certainly not neccesary for sewing but, if like me, you hate to pin they will make sewing a lot more enjoyable.

One pack of these works pretty well for holding binding on the edge of a baby or throw size quilt both for sewing the strip on and for rolling it over. Havent found that I use them over pins for piecing, though. They are faster to put on than pins, but I find that things shift a little when I take them off when piecing. I prefer to pin either far enough to the left that I dont have to remove them or remove them as they go under the front of the presser foot. Either way, nothing shifts.

A little late to the party on getting these amazing clips!! I borrowed a few from a neighbor for mask making & quickly ordered my own set. These are THE BEST!! Easy to use, high quality metal & the case is perfect to keep them all together in. Great price compared to other retailers.

This was a re-purchase to use as a gift. Ive had two boxes that Ive used for at least 8 years, and longer but not sure how long. I like that they are clear, can see through them to see where they are on edge of fabric. Storage box is nice addition. Easy to use, sturdy. None have broken. Highly recommend. Prefer to pinning the binding on quilts and other small items. They grip nicely and hold into place

I absolutely LOVE these clips! I bought them to hold binding in place on a very large quilt, and they do the job perfectly; they hold firmly, do not leave any marks or creases, are very easy to pull off as Im sewing AND ~ the really big plus ~ they do not bite like pins!! Ive started using them for other things as well...i.e. to hold fabric strips together before I pin them. The Amazon price was fantastically good~ I bought the 50 packs for $13.00 each ~ the best price I have ever seen for these. ( I got 4 boxes, and so glad I did...used almost all of them for the large quilt ) At local Joannes they are $7.99 for a 10 pack! I would recommend these to anyone who quilts or sews!!! Worth every penny.
