Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

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

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.

I am an avid quilter, and these Clover wonder clips are simply the best! I especially love for binding quilts - grip tightly without denting fabric without the accidental sticks from normal straight pins which I was using. Easily detached when piecing via machine quilting. My husband actually purchased these for me originally, and I was very skeptical because I doubted their usefulness.How wrong I was - I now prefer them so much to straight pins for most projects! I bought and extra set for my Mom who introduced me to quilting, and she loves them, too! Take the plunge ladies and gents of quilting/sewing - you may not go back to pins again!

Ive recently taken up sewing as a hobby again and I was browsing the Amazon best selling list of sewing notions and came across the Cover Wonder Clips. These are such an improvement over pins in putting together an outfit. Not only do I not have to worry about the hazard of pins falling out and laying in wait on the floor for an unsuspecting foot but I also can avoid the pinpricks that so often result in my fingers. I just finished putting in a waistband in a skirt and it was so much quicker to just clip the material than to spend time putting in pins. The Clover Wonder Clips have been the best new notion that I have found so far and deserve all the five star ratings.

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 bought this because of the large number of 5 star ratings. Figured I would find something to complain about. Well, I did. I use them so much that I managed to lose one already! I bought these for English paper piecing and they are great. 11/7/12 Just ordered another box. I saw someone using them for binding clips on a quilt and I cant wait to try them. I had to buy more since my first order is tied up with English paper piecing. The clips are plastic, so wont leave paint or rust if you leave them with your project. The clippy end has one side that is flat and one side that has a ledge for gripping. Im probably not explaining that well, but cant think of better wording. The point is, there is usually a best side to have up (or down) on a given project. Getting max satisfaction probably depends on making sure that you are using the right side.

I love these Wonder Clips and not just for my sewing projects! These are so strong and handy I find uses for them all over the home. I especially like them for their intended use in the sewing room as after years of sewing I was really tired of always getting stuck with the pins that held my projects together. I used lots of them to hold the edges of some fleece together for a blanket for our grandaughter, normal pins would disappear in the nap and I always ended up finding them when they would imbed themselves in my arm as I would fold the completed blanket up after I finished sewing it together, not so with the clips, you remove them as you come to them as you are sewing the seam. I also love that you are left with no pin holes in finer fabrics, I was finding that even the thinnest tiniest pins would leave holes in some of the finer fabrics, well no more, the clips go in the seam allowance and dont stab my arms as they make their way up to the presser foot of my machine. The price for these on Amazon is fantastic! I had bought two of the ten packs at the store and paid more for those 20 clips than I did for this pack here and got more than twice as many in this pack, even using a coupon at the store Amazon was less expensive!

Lisa Lams book, A Bag For All Reasons, suggested the use of these clips. I was buying something else on Amazon so threw these in to the order, free shipping, you know! I have sewn a few times since receiving the clips and have found them to be quite useful! While sewing a zip pouch for my Etsy shop, Stitchuation, I found the clips easier to use than pins to keep the lining, zipper, and exterior clamped tidily together before and while sewing it all together. Also while keeping bag handles in place before sewing, the clips were much better than pins. I am quite a fan of these clips and thank Lisa Lam for letting me know about them!

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 purchased a box of 50 from a local store and absolutely loved them. I used them to hold the binding on quilts and still do. They are fantastic, much better than pins. They hold without puckering the material! and if you machine bind your quilts, the markings on the clips (a little hard to see) do really help you not catch the binding on the front while stitching the binding on the back side of the quilt. Reason for 2 stars: I loved these so much I purchased an additional 50 pack box here on Amazon. When I started using them it was bad, bad, bad. About half of the clips broke on first use. The metal strip that hold the clip tight became loose making the clip useless. I was so disappointed! I can understand a few breaking but 50 percent is just unacceptable. I dont know if I just received a bad batch or the company has changed the metal they are using. Either way it makes me a little hesitant of ordering them again. Surprisingly I received an email from Amave (the seller) asking me how my shopping experience was. I explained what happened and told them that I didnt feel like it was their fault, they didnt manufacture them, which is why I hadnt contacted them. To my surprise they emailed me back and refunded the purchase price as they said they didnt feel like I should be out the money. WOW! great customer service!!!!
