Full details
The Prym Binding Hem Clips are essential sewing accessories designed for quilters and garment makers who need reliable, hands-free fabric stabilization during complex projects.

FAQs
Can I use these on thick denim?
These clips work best on standard quilting fabrics. They may struggle to maintain a secure hold on multiple layers of very thick, heavy-duty denim.
Are these rust-proof?
While the clips are durable, it is best to keep them dry to prevent surface rust, as they are primarily designed for indoor sewing environments.
How many clips come in the pack?
Each package contains 30 individual silver clips.
Are these safe to run under a sewing machine needle?
No, you must remove the clips before the sewing machine needle reaches them to avoid damage to both the needle and the clip.
Can they hold slippery fabrics like silk?
Yes, their firm grip is generally effective on slippery fabrics, though you should test on a scrap piece first to ensure the grip is secure.
Troubleshooting
Clip feels loose or does not grip tightly
Check for lint or fabric fibers caught in the hinge mechanism and clear them out with a small brush.
Clip leaves indentations on delicate fabric
Reduce the number of layers held by the clip or use a thin layer of scrap fabric as a buffer between the clip and your project.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Prevents fabric damage by eliminating needle holes
- Easy to apply and remove quickly while working
- Provides a firm, consistent hold on multiple fabric layers
- Versatile use beyond sewing applications
Cons
- Not suitable for extremely thick or heavy multi-layer fabric stacks
- Metal construction may be heavy compared to plastic alternatives
- Lacks the pinpoint accuracy of fine sewing needles for intricate seam placement
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using these clips is straightforward: simply squeeze the ends to open the jaws and slide them onto your fabric edges. They are compatible with most standard quilting cottons, linens, and light upholstery fabrics. To maintain their performance, keep the clips clean and free of fabric dust or loose threads that might build up in the hinge. While they are made of sturdy metal, it is recommended to store them in a dry environment to prevent any potential oxidation or surface wear. Do not store them in an open state to ensure the tension spring remains effective over time.
