Ever need a second (or third) pair of hands when it comes time to sew your crocheted pieces together? Safety pins can catch on the yarn. Straight pins can be a challenge, as well as dangerous to tender fingertips. Never fear: Clover flies to the rescue with Wonder Clips.

They open to about 3/8 inch wide, enough to accommodate all but the bulkiest seams, and they are quick and easy to reposition as needed. Originally designed to be used for sewing and quilting, the clips have seam allowances marked unobtrusively on the flat surface. Wonder Clips come in packs of 10 or 50. Get plenty, because you’ll find many uses for these handy gadgets. Wonder Clips are available at AnniesCatalog.com.
