Quilt Clips 12 Pack,3 inches Plastic Quilting Clips Hold The Quilt Rolled While Quilting

I main work with lap quilts, baby quilts and wall hangings. These are a little large for that, but for twin, full or queen size they work ok.

I find these to be very useful with big quilts. Glad I got them.

I quilted a 7ft x 7ft quilt with high-loft poly batting on a conventionally-sized Brother sewing machine. Quilting that piece would have been beyond difficult without the clips.That is a huge quilt. When I rolled it up to apply the clips, I found I needed clips maybe 2 inches or 1.5 inches. The 3 inchers hung on loosely and sometimes fell off.Again, I'm not sure I could have completed my 7x7 project without the clips. I certainly would buy again. I would pay more for smaller, tighter clips.

Use these when rolling my quilt on a frame. Easy to put on and take off.

This was exactly what I was looking for to keep my quilts rolled while doing free motion quilting. It's not as easy as I thought it would be once they were rolled using this product, but it does make it somewhat easier. I just finished a quilt that was a little larger than full size, almost queen, and used these. When I reached the middle of the quilt, it was still difficult to feed it through the harp of the machine, but not as difficult as trying to do so without them! It would have been nice to have some larger clips in the package for larger quilts. I would definitely recommend these if you're doing a smaller quilt - like a twin or crib size. It doesn't scratch your sewing machine and they are durable enough to stretch around the quilt easily.

So far so good with these. We placed them about every 14-16" which is probably a little overkill, but far better than trying to manage a quilt that unrolls mid stitch. I was expecting these things to be not quite as sturdy as they seem or have much spring to them, but they are surprisingly tough. How long they last and how many uses is a bigger question that can only be answered with time. I normally wouldn't have bought these but it seems that the metal version used for pants leg retention on a bike are hard to come up with.

Just opened the package but it looks like exactly what I wanted--do not have a report on long term use.

This handy set of quilt clips provides a way to roll up the excess quilt sandwich to fit through the machine easier. Fancier stitching is possible this way! Especially valuable in place of a long arm for small to medium sized quilts!
