Clover Clips are great
 

I have read a number of posts lately about the Clover Clips so I decided to check them out on ebay and also Amazon. Amazon had a great price of $22 for 50 so I purchased 100 to get free shipping. I was just finishing up a lapthrow when they came in the mail so I opened them up and started using them. I can tell you for sure that all of the great things that have been said about them are exactly true. I love these clips. I have tried hairclips, rubber coated paper clips with little success. Pins work pretty well but they stick you so these clips have now become a most valuable quilting item for me. I would strongly recommend these be added to your sewing/quilting necessities.

Good to know!!!! Thanks.

this is the first I am hearing of them. So of course had to google them, there seems to be different kinds for different uses. Which ones are you speaking of? Must say the binding ones do have my interest peeked.

I really like mine.

I love them also. I only bought 10 because I just use them for one side at a time as I do the binding by hand, but they are really great!!!!!

I didn't realize there were different kinds. I am speaking of the binding clips. I sew on my binding by machine and that is why I needed so many.

I've been waiting to get some, didn't want to pay shipping. Haven't found them at JoAnns yet, but last week Hancock said they were going to be getting some.

i ordered some and received them in the mail. i really like them .
use them all the time.

I find that they're helpful even for paper piecing. Once the ends of the seams are lined up by jabbing in the pins, I put the clips right on the sewing line making sure both sides line up and sew. Everything lays so flat and stays right where I want it to.

I bought some but haven't tried them out yet. Excited to use!!!

I bought extra sets super cheap when I found an online discounter that had a going out of business clearance sale of buy one get two free! I posted the link then for everyone but my post was deleted. I have all my secret pal and guild nice gifts covered for the rest of the year. Yeah! Clover clips and Pinmores are the top two most useful tools for quilting I've bought in the last few years.

I purchased 2 packages of 10 because I found a good sale on them. I used them on my last baby quilt with bias binding and LOVED them! I could only do a portion of the binding at a time which was the only draw back I found with my limited supply. I found the 50 count a couple of weeks later at a great price and free shipping so I grabbed them. Now I have 70 of them and I should be able clip the whole binding on a baby quilt! I haven't tried a larger quilt yet but if I need to, I'm not unwilling to buy more! I am sooooo tired of pin pricks in my hands, arms, chest and legs when I do my bindings!

Okay, I'll bite....pinmores? Tell me, please.

Here is a link to Clovers site for the clips, for those like me who have never heard of them. They look neat, but I finish my binding by hand and simply use binder clips from the dollar store in the same way.

Are these the ones?

Connecting Threads is having a sale on them also.

I love them for EPP, holds the hexagons together when I whipstitch them together.

The frugal way to go is the dollar store, buy the hair clips that you bend to pop them open , I got them 12 for $1. They are wonderful, no jags or catching thread on pins. Just a little tip. Ruth

Yep!!! Those are the quilting notion of the year!

I also bought regular hair clips at the dollar store before I purchased the Clover clips. I could not get them to stay on so I wound up pinning my binding anyway.

Thanks for the good review. I saw them for the first time today in my new Keepsake Quilting and was wondering if they were worth it. Think I will order some.

I just read this post, hopped on the Internet and ordered some. I'm ready to bind a king size quilt & they will be a godsend. Thanks for sharing..

Thanks for your input. I have been thinking about purchasing these clips, but wasn't sure if they would be worth the price. Now I feel more inclined to purchase them.

Haven't seen a genuine Clover clip yet in Bangkok, however, in our office supply stores have ID badge clips that look very similar to the Clover clips. Only difference I can see is they have a strip of vinyl with a snap to attach your ID card. I've used these clips with success. So maybe also Stateside in the office supply stores at a cheaper price?
Aloha,

I get hair clips at Dollar store for binding--10 for $1--work just fine!

I have some also and think that they are great.

Not familiar with them. Will have to check them out.

Fabric Depot had them on sale for $19.95 last week. They are wonderful!

I went and looked at the picture of them and they are nothing more than the old hair clips we used to put in pin curls with. I have a bunch from my mother-in-law. WHO KNEW?????

I found them at my local 99cent store...called hair clips....duh!those are quilting clips in my world.

I bought a box of 80 hair clips from Sally's beauty supply shop for $3.99 and the work great for me!

I love them also and have about 100. I have not only used them for binding, but holding same size cut pieces together as well as giving one to my DH to use as a clip for his ipod earphones while walking (he lost the original clip :)). I bought some at jhittlesewing.com. They had the best price.

I like the binding ones I got last time someone wrote about them here LOL I did 50 and have used them only once - I'm a slow quilter <G>

Glad to hear of total satisfaction. I know some think they're over priced but my opinion is if it's worth it to you that's all that counts.

Quilt in a day has "Wonder Clips" by Clover for $18.12 for a Pkg. of 50.

The Clover Clips are on sale at Quilt in a Day for $18.12 for 50.

This is the way to go --- my first purchase was from a quilting source (don't remember where) but then I was at Dollar Store and - hey - same thing for a whole lot less. You don't get stuck when using clippies.

Whoops somebody already said that, sorry. Anyway, it's the thought that counts! Have a great day.

Thanks, I was thinking about getting some. Now I will for sure,

I was given 3 to test for my local quilt store & the owner's daughter wants my feedback in "my honest opinion" (imao.) I keep forgetting to test them though. I use the quilt binding clips at the present time. Thanks for the info.

Have a blessed day/weekend.
