I use them for bindings, mainly. But her Nibbs-ship, the cat, found that they are great to bat around the house!! I let her have ONE. Maybe I should say, she decided she only needed ONE!!

I use them for all of the sewing related items mentioned but my favorite use for them is to clip bags of frozen corn or peas closed to go back in the freezer. They also work for closing small bags like soda crackers or chips.

Here's a link from Clover showing what to watch out for. http://clovercatalog.com/wc/wc.pdf |
I don't like the generic Wonder Clips at all. Walmart here sells the original Clover Wonder Clips.

I only use them for binding but I really like them. I only have one set but boy do they do the trick! I have enjoyed reading all of the other ways folks are using them. I am going DUHHHH! Why didn't I think of that? Any way a tool worth its price.

I like using them when I'm hand sewing the binding onto the back of my quilts. No pins to prick me. Also use them to keep sections together when making a quilt. They're great if you're working on fabrics you don't want to put pin holes into such as leather too.

I've run out. Over the last year people have borrowed them at classes now I can't find any at home. Here I come shopping day.
|
Thank you so much for telling me about the counterfeit clips, I had no clue. I am waiting for my order from Amazon and the first thing I will do when they come is look to see if I got the real thing!

They are great for holding bulky bag making layers together (fabric, fusible fleece or batting, zipper, fabric).
