Clover Wonder Clips
 

I have to say I am loving these little red Wonder Clips. I have been working on 6 quilts for children over the last 2 weeks and I have used these. Makes sewing on the binding SOOOOO much easier for me than pinning or using those hair clips. They are a bit pricey in LQS and JoAnns' but if you go to Amazon you can get the 50 pack for under $20.

I havent been able to find them at my small town JoAnns. My LQS shop has some but they are a bit pricey, so 50 for $20 at Amazon is a great deal!

I have been wanting to purchase these for a few months now after I saw one of the workers at my LQS using them. They look like they would be a huge help when binding those quilts. I did see them cheapest on Amazon and will most likely buy them there. Can't wait to get them but of course that has to go on the list with the other hundreds of things I need and more importantly want. :D

I totally agree. I bought 100 of them from Amazon at a really good price and I use mine every time I bind a quilt. I consider them one of my necessities in the sewing room

I love them too! I hated using all those pins when doing my binding and those darn hair clips, well lets just say that I am glad I only invested $2 in them! I could never get them to stay and hold the binding on! I originally bought a 10 pack of the clips and after I used them the first time, I realized that I loved them and promptly ordered the 50 count box!

Have them, love them. Everyone that has them has already tossed the hair clips. I think they look pretty too, like a box full of jewels.

I just bought some, but I haven't used them yet. I will in a couple of weeks when I finish up the quilt I'm working on. I'm looking forward to not pricking my fingers and bleeding on the quilt!

I bought them on Amazon some time ago and used them for the first time in June. They were terrific!! But at the new price point I might buy another 50 so I can position the entire binding on a larger quilt.

I use them all the time. I have even used them to hold zippers in place while I stitch it down. I will have to add some more to my wish list. lololololo.

Have a blessed day.

Having never heard of them I had to look them up.
How long are they, they look like clothepins.
Thanks.

They are mini clothes pins in a way, they are 1"

I go to the dollar store and get the small binder clips. They work great and are much cheaper. You don't have to even settle for the black ones; they have "designer colored patterns" too! Much cheaper.

I found them at Beverly's and used my 40% off coupons to collect them. Theu are $6.99 here in California but when I use the coupon they are only about $4.50 for the pack of 10.

i just bought some when i went to the last craft show. they were a bit pricey at $10 for a pack of 10 but i am sick of getting stuck by pins!

I picked mine up at Hancock Fabrics when they were running a instore "special" at a very good price. I'm not quite as sold on them but maybe it's because change is hard and I don't think of them until I'm done with a project. They also would make nice bag clips. You can't go wrong buying them.

I'm hooked on paper piecing and these clips are much better to use than pins. When joining seams, they slide on and off without distorting all the layers of paper & fabric. (Plus you can't accidentally sew over them). Just thought I'd give you a suggestion for another use for them other than bindings.

I bought them also from Amazon, but have yet to use them. I put my binding on using Sharon Shamber's glue method and don't need the clips. I guess I will just have to find another use for them!

I just love these clips!! I use them to hold the fabric in place while piecing. I've been making a queen-size Labyrinth quilt with lots of seams to match and they are amazing! I haven't used them for binding yet, but plan to with this quilt. You can't run over them with the machine like pins and they don't distort the fabric. Those little teeth just grab and hold. I bought the 50 pack from Amazon and I will probably buy another 50. Goodbye straight pins!!

Love them just ordered more on sale at Connecting Threads.

Haven't tried them yet but did purchase a package of 10 at a discount from Connecting Threads. From all your good reviews, guess I better get busy and bind the quilt I just got back from my LAQ.

I only clip about 6-8" at a time, so the small 10 pack is all I need. I sew a bit and when I remove the clips, I just leap frog over a clipped section and clip a new section. I did that with pins and now I do the same thing with clips. Works for me, and I don't have to buy 50 clips.

I use hair barets, cheap and they work great.

I just used mine for the 1st time and I love them. connectingthreads have them on sale, think I will order some more.

BTW, I had trouble telling which side of the box was up and where it opened, so I marked the top and front. Maybe I'm the only one to have this problem, but marking it sure helps. May just be that pesky cataract I'm developing!

They are wonderful. I hardly ever use pins any more, what a great product. You must try them.

I don't even pin my bindings on anymore - just match edges, sew a little, match, set. I stitch my bindings on front and turn to back and hand sew and I use my hairclip style clips and they work great.

I bought mine from Nancys notions, I love love love them!!

I have always used the color coated large paper clips, amazing what you can do when on a budget!

I marked my box with a glued on yo yo on top. I was constantly picking up spilled clips. LOL

That was my problem and I love them if for no other reason lol I bought some months ago from amazon.

I just tried them today for hemming some shirt sleeves that I made from long sleeve into short sleeve. I wanted 1/2 inch turned under and the clips are 1/2 inch when all the way on the fabric. Worked slick and I didn't even have to measure. I'm sold

I also bought the 50 pack from Amazon after readin the board and use them often, love, love, love them. Thanks quilt board.

I haven't seen these....they look neat. I bet they are easier to use. I've started to not use anything with my bindings. No pins, no clips, I just take my time and guide it all by hand.

I have this problem too, but it is worth it to use these great clips. I will borrow your idea though...if I can figure out which is the top! :)

That amazon price is even better than jhittlesewing.com. They are about an inch long and have 1/2" and 1/4" marks on them. My husband and son use one each to clip their ipod earphones on their clothes.

I use hair clips the beauticians use......I think 80 to a box for $3 .99.....they have different sizes too....

Just started using the 10-pack I ordered when Connecting Threads had a 20% off notions sale recently. Love them! I bought them after reading so many positive comments on the board and if anyone is thinking of trying them, do it.

I use to think the hair clips worked just great until I did try these clips. You won't know if you try them for yourself. I use them whenever I need any type of clip.

They are wonderful. I also used them to hem some jeans. They worked great.

I got the 10 pc at JoAnn's for $3.50 plus tax. I haven't used them yet.
