Why this gift works
Clover Wonder Clips hold layers of fabric together in place of pins. This pack has 50 red clips (Clover Art No. 3156) made of polycarbonate and stainless steel, each with 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch seam-allowance markings and a flat base that slides easily toward the presser foot. Clover lists holding quilt binding among their uses, along with vinyl, pile and heavy fabrics that pins would distort or mark.
Anyone who has hand-stitched binding around a quilt knows the pin-prick routine. Clips hold thick layers firmly, never stab a finger and never leave holes, which is why so many quilters switch to them and never go back. A 50-pack covers the binding on a full quilt.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- A quilter who hand-stitches binding
- A sewist working with vinyl or fleece
- Filling out a quilting gift
Think twice if
- They already own plenty
- They only piece thin cotton
The catch
Clover says to remove each clip before the fabric reaches the presser foot, it does not publish the clip size or opening width, and Clover's own store showed this pack backordered when checked.
Skip if they already keep a big tin of Wonder Clips by the machine.

What to look for in sewing clips
- Grip. Clips should hold several thick layers firmly.
- Markings. Seam-allowance marks save measuring.
- Quantity. Binding a full quilt takes a lot of clips - 50 covers it.
