FAQs

Can these clips be used instead of pins for all sewing projects?

They are a great alternative for most projects, especially those involving materials prone to needle marks like leather or oilcloth, and for holding multiple layers for quilting. However, for extremely fine details on very delicate fabrics, traditional pins might still offer more precision.

How many clips are included in the box?

The box contains 40 fabric clips, sorted into assorted colors.

What material are the clips made of?

The clips are made from a combination of metal and transparent plastic.

How do I clean the storage box?

The storage box can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. It is designed to be reusable and keep your clips organized.

Are the clips stackable?

Yes, the transparent storage box is designed to be stackable, allowing for efficient organization of multiple sets of clips.

What is the width of each clip?

Each fabric clip has a width of 26 mm.

Can I use these clips for holding zippers in place?

Yes, these clips can be very effective for holding zippers in place while you prepare to sew them, especially on thicker fabrics where pins might be difficult to manage.

Troubleshooting

Clips are not holding fabric securely

Ensure the clip is fully engaged and pressed firmly onto the fabric layers. For very thick materials, try using more clips or ensure the fabric is not exceeding the clip's capacity. Check for any debris obstructing the clasp mechanism.

Clips are difficult to open or close

Check for any lint or fabric threads caught in the clasp. Gently try to wiggle the clasp open or closed. If persistent, a tiny drop of sewing machine oil might help lubricate the mechanism, but use sparingly and wipe off excess.

Clips are leaving marks on delicate fabrics

While designed to avoid pinholes, clips can still leave slight indentations on very soft or delicate fabrics. Test on a scrap piece first. Consider using them only on sturdier materials or for temporary holding where precision is less critical.

  • Stackable design saves workspace

Cons

  • May require a learning curve for users accustomed to pins
  • Can be slightly bulkier than pins in certain intricate areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. The clips are ready to use straight from the storage box.

Compatibility: These fabric clips are compatible with a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, denim, leather, oilcloth, vinyl, and multiple layers for quilting. They are not recommended for use with extremely delicate silks or chiffons where the pressure of the clip might cause creasing.

Care: To clean the clips, wipe them with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store the clips in the provided transparent, stackable box to keep them organized and protected. Ensure the clips are dry before storing to prevent any potential damage to the plastic or metal components.
