Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

I dont know how Ive lived without these all the 40+ years Ive been sewing - they are the best! I was on the fence forever about getting them because I have so many pins and wondered if I really needed to spend money on these. Well, I really need them, thats for sure. They just make sewing so much easier. Not to mention no finger pricks, no pins getting jammed into the sewing machine as Im trying to sew Mario Andretti speed. The pins would get stuck into the machine and Id have to stop and pick them out and it would slow me down so much and irritate me to no end - but no more. I havent touched my pins since I got these. I usually sew barefoot so no more worrying about stepping on a pin. These clips make me so happy. My sewing area is already my happy place but now its my even happier place!

I was hesitant to buy these because of the counterfeit statements but I found my package to be quality clips. There is no way these are counterfeit. These are definitely Clover clips and an added bonus is the container which corrals the clips. The clips perform as they were intended. Seriously thinking about purchasing another package, a quilter can never have enough clips.

One thing not mentioned on the product description (that you can see in one of the close-up pictures), is that these clips also have little raised lines on the flat clip base -- these arent just for extra grip, they can actually be used to easily measure placement of clip from the edge of the fabric! Back of package tells you the measurements for each line (3/8, 1/4, and 1/2 when fully inserted); I cut that part of the cardboard packaging and store it inside the plastic case for reference. That has been really helpful when handsewing at a 1/4 seam allowance, so I can more easily judge the placement of stitches. Using the clips has been a lot nicer than lots of pins while I am handsewing with the garment in my lap -- no surprise pokes! Plus, when I reach the clip, I can just remove it and not worry about loose pins (I have been attaching the clips to my shirt when I am done with them, just to keep track of them easier). I havent used them with a sewing machine yet, and one thing to keep in mind is that they do add a bit of weight (so be aware when working with fabrics that stretch). They are great little clips!

These 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.

Compared to other brands, the quality of Wonder Clips is obvious. If you want to go cheap, use old wooden clothespins. But if you are a legitimate quilter, you wont waste your time on cheap knock-offs.

In my opinion these are much better than straight pins. These clips are fast to use, hold layers secure, easy removal as you sew and they don’t stick my fingers or get lost in the fabric and run over by machine needle. This is my second set of clips, purchased for a stocking stuffer for my daughter as we were both so impressed with mine. I use these for both fabric and paper. They work to hold 2 layers of cottonthin up to quilting sandwich thickness.

I would highly recommend these clips to anyone who loves to sew, either clothing or quilting. When I first saw these little guys I just knew I had to have them, and yep I was right. I still use pins or weights to cut my patterns out with, but when it comes to piecing them together these wonder clips are excellent. They hold the fabric firmly together, yet they are easy to adjust if you need to, and when it comes to things like 1/4 hems thats where they really shine and there is never any fabric distortion like when you use pins. This is a must have that will make any sewist smile....

Bought 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.

I love these things! I do a lot of draping and alterations, and these clips are way easier to use than pins. No more poking myself when I’m moving too fast, or when I can’t quite see where my hands are (reaching up under a skirt or the like), and I don’t have to worry about anyone getting stabbed when trying on a pinned garment. They are also very quick and easy to remove when I need sew a tiny hem on the machine, and the pins/clips need to come out just before passing under the presser foot. Get the large green ones too. You’ll need them for thicker fabrics, holding together multi layered garments, and gathered waistbands.

Saw these on the Amazon website and was intrigued. Since I had a Gift Card I added the package to my shopping cart while purchasing other items. When the items I arrived, I happened to be in the process of altering the hems on 4 pairs of jeans. I experimented with the first pair of jeans. They worked great, held the temporary hem securely while moving around the free-arm of my Janome sewing machine as I stitched. Easy to remove as the needle approached the clip. I had all the jeans altered in no time. Best part - no more pricked fingers from straight pins rotating around the free-arm!!! I know these will work well with quilt binding as well. I may be ordering a few more packages so I have enough on hand for various projects.
