These clips are ideal for holding several layers of fabric together without slippage. Whether you are hemming heavy weight fabrics, quilting, working with leather, cork and vinyl, the Big Magic Clip™ will hold your project A great alternative to pins as they do not leave a mark on the materials used. These clips are made of quality stainless steel and plastic. At 2⅛ inch, the Big Magic Clip™ is sturdy enough to hold together your toughest sewing, quilting and other craft projects that need machine stitching. Each clip has easy to read markings with clear legends in front and back of the packaging. Comes in a pack of 6 and 12 clips.
The etched fraction markings near the base of the clip (1/4", 1/2" and 5/8") refer to the the three lines that appear at the top of the clip. The first line from the top of the clip is 1/4" and the subsequent markings are 1/2" and 5/8" from the top of the clip. You get your measurement starting from the top of the clip. The needle of the sewing machine must clear the clip by at least 1/8th of an inch. To achieve a 1/2" hem you must have a seam allowance of 5/8"(1/8" needle clearance + 1/2" of fabric fold under the clip). Please watch the video tutorial here
