As quilters I know we've seen the wonder clips. I think Clover was the first and they were a big hit to hold binding as you hand sewed. They were very expensive when they first came out! I'm always the last one to the rodeo.......
I was recently asked to do a review on THESE clips.
They are very similar to all the other clips on the market, but these come in a cute little bag.
They take the place nicely of pins to hold fabric in place while sewing.
These are just as strong and sturdy as the more expensive clips. (In my opinion)
I was making 49 flying geese- the clips were convenient to hold the parts together in geese of 10.
I still need to get the rest of the flying geese trimmed up.
They come in a bag of 50 for less then $11.00. I'd say that is a bargain!

It has been a cray few weeks. But there is light at the end of the tunnel:
We have hired a new employee who will be starting in 2 weeks and my son's car that was stolen has been recovered. Hopefully it will drive. I'm heading into Portland to pick it up this week.
Have a great Wednesday!
It is always nice to read good news. Thanks for sharing the review.
ReplyDeletethanks Lori - I was using the original clips but you can't beat this price! I just got mine - woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the rreminder view and good news about the new hire and the car!
ReplyDeleteI still use pins as I thought the grips were too expensive. I might reconsider. Good news about new employee and car!
ReplyDeleteI got some of those for Christmas, and use them a lot, so I can recommend them too!!
ReplyDeleteYep...These hold great and at a much better price.
ReplyDeleteI use them a lot when paper piecing. You know when you have multiple layers of paper and fabric section?
I use a pin, straight thru to line up the lines and then clip it one or more of these and its great... not bending nearly as many pins
2 good news about the car of your son and your new employee !
ReplyDeleteI've bought some in a market but not at this great prize !
I'm always late to the party too. Just bought some Wonder clips a couple months ago and honestly, haven't even opened the package yet! Will have to see how useful they can actually be!
ReplyDeleteOh thanks for the tip--I love using my clips this size and the longer ones, too for bindings...
ReplyDeletehugs,Julierose
If you think you're the last one to the rodeo than I wonder if I ever get there - lol! I haven't used these clips much - I think I still like pins better... I hope your new employee works out wonderfully so you can get back to doing more of what you love!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder that I have these! Being a longarm quilter, I tend to quilt much more than I piece,and since putting these away after using the when piecing, had completely forgot I even had them! I'm getting them out right now, to use to keep sets together. Thanks for helping me rediscover the treasure I already posess!

ReplyDeleteI've only had my clips for a year. I finally had to give in LOL--love how well they work.
ReplyDeleteI have those "Fake" Clips in PURPLE! I love that they come in a package of more than 12. I didn't get the bag with mine. Glad your son's car was recovered.
ReplyDeleteGenerally I use clips that I use to close kitchen bags, but they are shorter. I can hardly find these you showed.
