Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

The real reason I bought this was because I just wanted to spend money that I dont have. My expectations were that I was getting a gimmicky item I wouldnt use. However, having left all my pins at another house I used them. They are way easier. Also, way better as the fabric layers stay flat and dont pucker. The hold is tight enough they hold strong. I had multiple layers of fabric with different folds in the one layer, and should normally have tacked the first folds before pinning the next layer, but having the pinch clips at the edge of the fabric was better and I easily just went straight to my machine. I dont know how to say why that this was so much easier and better, but really it just was. Glad to use these instead of pins whenever possible.

My mom bought a package of these a while back and I used them when I was visiting her. She uses them for her sewing, I use them for quilt binding mostly. My teenage daughter was having problems with a quilt she was binding not long ago, I didnt have enough clips around, and the ones I had werent as sturdy as these. I had forgotten all about ordering my own set like moms by the time I got home, so I got on the computer and ordered a couple (this and the large size) for my daughter. She loves these, I love these, Ill need more since we both swipe them for our projects.

I use these in quilting any time I can rather than use straight pins - for holding cut pieces together, for securing corners and fabric folded on bindings prior to stitching, for holding pieces and labels together, etc. Both this size and the larger size have a space for the fold in the fabric, they hold fabric securely without damaging it, and are easy to attach and remove with my weak hands. Someone wisely said buy them in bulk - 50 pk and that was very good advice. With several stations in my quilting room and a supply bad outfitted for classes, I probably have 200 of the red and 100 of the green and still sometimes run out. GREAT PRODUCT!

These clips have several advantages over pins. First, they are more visible. Pin sometimes get left in and go under the needle, but you cant miss these clips. Second, the clips attach to the cloth as you hold it flat--no bending the cloth to get the pins in and possible shifting one layer away from the other. Third, and the best of all for me, is that I dont have to worry that I might accidentally leave these out and have a cat swallow one (cats do that sort of thing). A cat could swallow a pin, but these are just too bulky. The clips are small, but easy to hold and they seem sturdy. They even have seam measurements on them though I have not found those particularly useful.

Easy 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.

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 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!!!!

I 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.

I rarely need to use pins anymore because of these, which means I dont bleed all over the quilts Im making anymore! I make a lot of cosmetic bags and I just couldnt make them as easily with regular pins. These are amazing. They have a nice, secure hold, I can move a project around from work area to work area, drag it all over my lap and these stay put. Amazing for putting a binding on. Seriously, you need to try these, they will change your whole sewing game. Get a big pack, youll want them :)

So far Im in love with these clips. I had hear nothing but good about them and never though to get them till I started sewing diaper inserts. The inverts I was sewing were very thick. Pins didnt work because of that odd bend in the fabric you get then you try to pin something to thick. I then attempted to use normal metal office clips but the very small ones. They worked but boy were my fingers sore and had to jam the fabric into them since they wouldt get wide enough clip. I get these in the mail and had wished I had them all along. I didnt know what I was missing out on. Something to consider if you use PUL material you dont want put unnecessary holes in it so this is a good option. Also if you quilt this is going to be great for that especially if you have a weaker grip than most.
