Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

These Wonder Clips are an excellent alternative to pins. They are strong, easy to a work with & remove. The are easier to see than pins.

I bought these for a friend. I have some and use them whenever I can instead of pins. They are just the perfect size. Better than being stuck with a pin.

I bought these for my mother who has arthritis and can no longer grasp and hold straight pins. She seems to really like them, she has been quilting again. She was very excited to receive them. I tried them out and I dont really think they have the holding power of safety pins, which is what use. But, I think theyre great for people who cant grasp normal pins or maybe have a big surface to sew on.

The original Clover clips are fantastic. So easy to use and no puncture wounds from pins. The design, plastic quality and spring steel quality all make these better than anything produced out of China. Good for years and years of use. Never had one break.

The ones I bought are the genuine ones. They are made in Japan and have a very satisfying glossy smooth finish, strong grip, and smooth action. They are very sturdy. I have been using them for sewing and they work better than pins for most things.

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.

These small but mighty clips are perfect for quilters, and crafters. In quilting, the clips can be used instead of pins to hold binding in place while sewing, to keep rows of blocks together, to help with organinzing various quilt pieces by clipping on labels and holding all the pieces together, and much more. For crafting, use the clips to organize paper items for various projects, use them as a third hand to add pressure while glueing, and much more. I love the small size, because they are light weight. I highly reccommend buying this larger package, because it is a better deal than buying a small pack of 10, and I often use more than 10 when quilting, plus they come in a useful storage box, which is easy to open and close. They were shipped in perfect timing. I love them! Perfect!

This is a great product, but I probably couldve just used the mini binder clips I have in my office if I had thought about it before buying these. I just started quilting and Im definitely a wing-it type of person. If its close enough, then its good enough for me. Definitely not a professional here - I figure if my quilt top doesnt line up, Ill just trim off the edges and the quilt will be smaller than I originally intended by an inch or two. I intentionally avoid patterns that require high accuracy. The clips have markings for seam allowances and such, but mostly I use them to just clip the edges of my sewing projects without stabbing myself with pins, so Im not really using the markings on the clips. They work great though! Easy to clip on, unclip as I go, no blood stains from pin pricks, and the hard plastic carrying case is awesome for storage - Im not having to reach into a zipper baggie because Im too cheap to go out and buy a container specifically for the product. The bright red/hard plastic is also nice. Ive accidentally left pins in my quilts that I didnt see and found with my flesh. Ive also dropped pins on the carpet where I have to STOP EVERYTHING and find it so I dont forget about it or step on it. If I drop one of these its easy to find, and not quite so urgent.

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.

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!
