Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

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.

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.

Pros: You dont have to worry about pricking yourself. They grip alright (but theyll pivot a little bit if you force them sideways) Easy to use. They dont require too much force to open. There are measured markings on the bottoms. They come in a sturdy clear plastic box. Cons: You can only use them on the edge. Large pieces of cloth will still need to be secured in the middle. Straight pins can also secure the fabric along the path of the needle, as opposed to just along the very edge, which helps limit warping. You *can* sew past them, but theyll have to be right on the edge, and even then, the fabric wont lie flat against the seam allowance markings. You cant sew right up to or over them the way you can with straight pins. They snag slightly and clatter against the front edge of your machine as you guide your fabric towards the needle and feed dogs.

Ive been wanting to get these Clover Wonder Clips for a long time, but when others are charging up to $40 for 50 clips, I just couldnt justify the cost. So when I saw them at this crazy low price, I snagged two boxes. I was about of bind a large queen-size quilt and wasnt looking forward to all the pin pricks. I used the Clover clips instead of pinning and they worked out perfectly. I was really amazed at how secure they were, even on the bulky mitered corners of the binding. Absolutely no slipping and no falling off, even after constantly moving the quilt while hand-stitching. They are the perfect size for doing binding. You dont need the bigger ones. I love, Love, LOVE these clips. Great invention. I would highly recommend them.

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....

I hate pinning. Leaving behind holes, losing pins in the carpet, pricking my fingers,... These are by far the best replacement. They hold on tight, even with very thin & slippery fabric (like double brushed poly) and super thick fabrics (I made slippers & lined blankets). Everything stays in place better than I can pin! The demarcations have different measurements. Im not sure how they are meant to be used, but I use them as a reminder to keep my seam allowance consistent. Id like to add that Im a novice sewist (going on 3 months) but I bought these for my mom (going on 40+ years) and she loves them! Shes diabetic and she doesnt need more pricking with while pinning.

After reading the reviews about these for weeks, I finally decided to buy them. Ive used them a few times in a few different ways and heres what Ive found: - theyre great for thick fabrics and sewing things with multiple layers as they help to keep the fabric flat and from bunching up like what can happen with pins. Theyre also easy to apply than pins can be on thick fabric - theyre not great for thinner fabric or things with really tight seam allowances like a stretch knit maxi dress with a 5/8 inch seam allowance (just sayin). The reason is that as you feed the fabric through your machine you have to remove the clip when your seam allowance is tight which means you end up pulling the fabric a bit to remove the clip and it then distorts the edge youre sewing So in short, I think these are great for certain projects and applications but not for everything so youll still need to hang on to your straight pins.

I bought these from Amazon after my sister raved about them, and a pack of ten at JoAnns was crazy expensive. They cant be used in place of pins in every situation, but for many they are wonderful. I use them when I serge almost exclusively; pins can hurt and the serger knives dont like them at all. These just fly by the knives and needles. I also have the larger ones, but these are the most all purpose. My sister sews on leather, and they hold very securely. After she told me about them, I tried to cheap out and use plastic clothespins--what a mistake. They dont hold strongly enough, and are not as precise. These clips get right up to the seamline and hold securely. JoAnns has a pack of ten for $6.99 online ($10 in the store) and a pack of 50, like these from Amazon, is $32.99 online. I paid $11.99, plus shipping. 5 stars is what they rate!

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.

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.
