I find that I do tend to use them more when the fabric is too thick to pin as I love to use really fine sharp pins and they were getting bent all the time. These have a really good grip and I find that layers of fabric do tend to stay together when I use these clips. I don't think anyone would be disappointed with purchasing some of these. They are very handy to have lying around in your sewing space.Rosie Treasurehttps://happysewingplace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-18307836220550818442020-03-27T21:52:13.380-04:002020-03-27T21:52:13.380-04:00"Some things are too damn thick to pin."..."Some things are too damn thick to pin."<br /><br />I sometimes sew heavy acrylic canvas which is impossible to pin. For that I usually use a seriously heavy one-handed office stapler with the staples in the seam allowance. The staples must be removed afterwards or they rust.SeamsterEast at aolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-85997690655400922872020-03-27T15:31:47.181-04:002020-03-27T15:31:47.181-04:00I avoided buying the clips for a long time until I...I avoided buying the clips for a long time until I started working on a vinyl bag. Some things should not have pins. Some things are too damn thick to pin. Clips are very hard to sew over.

I started using them for attaching quilt binding, then started using them for long seams, and then for everything but quilt seams where the points had to match. (I hate those, btw.). Now that I’ve started sewing, I use them more and more.

I use pins when I want the fabric to STAY where I want it to while sewing and/or when I am trying to avoid "fabric creep" due to the presser foot. Precision sewing I use pins, more casual sewing I use clips. I also use clips to hold the fabric in place as I am pinning.

It works just as well but they're not as colourful as the plastic clips you ordered.

They make it so much easier to fasten fiddly bits that shift when putting in pins, things that shouldn't be pinned, and of course quilt bindings sit so nice in that little notch.<br /><br />Amazon prioritizing shipping for essentials applies to their own warehouses. Vendors who have their own storage can ship like they always do. Presuming they aren't under "shelter in place" orders that is. Maybe the clips could be considered essential - they might make face mask assembly easier.JustGailhttp://justgail.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-29571745872414889122020-03-26T09:31:15.820-04:002020-03-26T09:31:15.820-04:00Is Cathy about to show some leg upon a sandy beach...Is Cathy about to show some leg upon a sandy beach?

They're faster to move around than pins, are more visible when serging, and also work to keep pattern pieces and fabric together while working with lots of fiddly bits. I often use mine according to color-- ex. red for notches or back pieces, and I also place them face up to indicate fabric front on easy to confuse fabrics like jersey solids. Thanks for the film links, I love classics too!ParisGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808620060144089897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-84527104993930200142020-03-26T04:32:06.321-04:002020-03-26T04:32:06.321-04:00Loving these film recommendations, Peter.

He curated and presented old films on TV for 50+ years. <br /><br />Like generations of Aussies, Mr Spud and I grew up watching Bill's Saturday night double feature "Golden Years of Hollywood". Old movies are still a ritual for us every Saturday night thanks to Bill but we miss his input so thank you for going someway toward filling the void ... Mr Movies II! <br /><br />Spud<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-26026685099562269572020-03-25T22:02:57.710-04:002020-03-25T22:02:57.710-04:00I LOVE Wonder Clips, but I use them for making bag...I LOVE Wonder Clips, but I use them for making bags, mostly from cork. I can’t do without them, but may be handy for some tasks in sewing clothing. I have given up on sewing clothing. It drives me nuts!
