Sewing clips, like Wonder Clips, are used to hold fabric together temporarily in place of pins, especially when working with thicker fabrics or materials that pins might damage. They are a handy notion for various sewing projects.
Using Sewing Clips
Here's a breakdown of how to effectively use sewing clips:
-
Holding Hems:
- Fold the hem to the desired length.
- Hold your finger over the hem to keep it in place.
- Attach the sewing clip to secure the hem.
-
Holding Assemblies Together:
- Align the pieces of fabric you want to sew together.
- Use sewing clips to hold those pieces together prior to sewing. For example, the reference mentions using them to hold waxed canvas together.
In essence, sewing clips provide a secure and easy way to hold fabric pieces together before sewing, similar to how pins are used, but with the added benefit of being less likely to damage or distort delicate fabrics.
