Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

I bought these since I make fabric face masks and want to avoid using pins for basting them which poke holes in the masks. They are perfect for that and I also wonder if I will ever use pins again for anything. I love these things! I thought 50 was overkill but I can have some next to my sewing machine, my ironing board, my cutting board or wherever else I want them and not run out. I was concerned that the Mini clips might be too small to be practical but they are perfect. I also was concerned that they would be difficult to open due to arthritis in my thumbs but I can open them easily. So far I have had no trouble with them breaking and they seem very sturdy.

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.

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.

At first I was not happy with these at all. I ordered based on sewing friends highly recommending them over pins. My first package over 1/2 of the package the clips were very loose and would not hold onto the package. They were replaced thinking I was sent a defective box. Now the replacement box there are about 1/4 that are loose. Since I was told to keep the defective box, I didnt bother calling back about the replacement. I just chucked the loose ones. I just wish the whole box was as secure as the ones that work great. Hopefully its just that I got a bad batch. I also got a different container as the style of this container is difficult to open and close. I dont think I will be using these all the time, but for some projects that are thicker, these will come in handy.

Pricey, but would buy again. These are handy for numerous craft creations. Takes the place of pins..no more pricked fingers.

I love these clips, they are very useful for more than just sewing or quilting! I even use some in the kitchen. Lol I love using them with polar fleece and other thicker fabrics that pins dont do so well in. I bought both the big and the small, I guess I use the small a little more then the large ones, but I I dont regret buying either of them! I have sewn for over 50 years and I owned a fabric and quilt shop for 10 years, so I have seen many new notions come and go, most only last a year or two, but these clips will be around for a long time I believe because the more you use them the more places you realize they can be used.

I saw these being used on YouTube videos but thought my pins were working just fine. I was wrong! These are perfect for pinning the binding on my quilt, and for holding together fabric parts when sewing. In reading reviews of cheaper alternatives, several people mentioned not buying those cheap ones but to go ahead and buy these instead. Im glad I did!

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.

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.

I use these for sewing and piecing together knitting. They’re fantastic, durable, easy to use. Faster than pinning sometimes
