Clover Wonder Clips Pkg of 50, Red

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!!!!

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.

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.

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 am in school for accessories design and we make leather shoes and handbags. My teachers all use simple binder clips to hold the leathers together, but I found they werent sturdy enough and the ends of them were easily caught on the machine when I was sewing. I was looking for a better solution and found these wonder clips. They hold the leather firmly, but dont end up gouging leather unless its extremely soft. Even if it does leave a little mark it will go away with a few rubs of your fingers. They are so easy to use and easy to grab them off the fabric as you are sewing- so much better than those terrible binder clips that have strange rough edges and gaps. These are super sturdy clips and I cannot say enough good things about them. If you are considering them at all just go ahead and buy a pack- you wont be sorry! Worth every penny- and everyone in class is always trying to borrow them and asking where to get a pack of their own :)

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.

Got these for my wife who quilts. They sat on her table for a few months - unopened. Then last night when she put the edging on a quilt, she came down all happy - Those clips saved a good hour of time I would have spent pinning the edge on to sew it. Lots of other great reviews on this product - thats why I got it it for her as a gift. Good to see it is as useful as others say.

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.

I bought these to replace pins when sewing a costume made of fake fur. Not only were they a dream to use and a lifesaver (really keep the fabric in place), I swear they improved my seams and made everything more even. Im now wondering what other difficult fabrics they might work on. I bought the clover brand instead of a larger quantity of cheap ones because I wanted to be sure the quality was good. These clips are really nice. However, other cheaper versions may be just as good, Ive never tried them. But the clip concept overall is fantastic!

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.
