Default Clover Wonder Clips

It seems like these would be a good thing to acquire.

I see that three sizes are available:

Mini

Original

Jumbo

I have been trying to get descriptions of the differences between them and not having much success at finding the information.

What size(s) do you use? Do you recommend getting some of each?

The mini size are very small. Perfect for mimi quilts etc. I use the Original size. Perfect for binding and when making purses that require a strong clip to hold layers together. Straight pins will not cut it and you end up pricking yourself. You will love Wonder Cips.

Really like my original size. I thought they were an unnecessary expense before i got them. I needed to spend a few more dollars once to get free shipping on an order, plus they were on sale...now I'm glad to have them. So nice to not be a human pincushion while hand sewing bindings on! My daughter also likes them for small leather projects and remaking thrift store clothing.

I have the original size and use when pins just won’t do the job i.e. sewing together thick layers like bags, duffel, purse, tote... I did use once for binding a quilt. Not something I use a lot but when I’ve needed them I was very glad to have them on hand!

I had the small/medium clips and absolutely hated them, gave them to a student of mine, and she didn't like them either. LOL

I have the medium and love them. At first I balked at the price but they are worth it to me.

I have three boxes of the medium red ones and I use them all the time for french fold binding and making bags, other places where pins would cause damage or the layers are thick. I have three bags of the green jumbos that I use for wide satin binding among other things. I acquired them all with 50 percent off coupons at Michaels, I've looked at the mini ones but I haven't had a need for them yet.

I have the original ones and love them for bindings. My husband borrowed mine to use when he was sewing some leather seat covers. He didn't want to give them back. "smile" I haven't had a need for bigger or very smaller yet.
