Clover is a well known company that have been making sewing tools for many years. I recently received the brilliant Hold It Precision Stiletto. Really handy for keeping your piecing in line and perfect. The thing that makes this really helpful, is that it has a plastic curved pointer at one end which helps keep…
The new Clover Desk Needle Threader turned up through my letterbox a couple of weeks ago whilst I was on holiday. (Northumbria on the East coast – my goodness it was stunning!) So I wasn’t able to test this as quickly as I’d have liked. To be honest, I’d love to have taken it with…
A tool for pressing seams – it’s that simple! No frills, no tricks, a simple little tool that gets the job done but can be used in a multitude of ways depending on the project. Made from hard, sturdy plastic it has a slanted end with a round indentation on the top to rest…
Small and Mighty is the best way to describe this latest offering from Clover – the Hot Hemmer Square. Measuring 6″ x 6″ and made from nylon fibre board, it’s portable and does exactly what it says on the tin. The nylon fibre board allows the heat and/or steam from your iron to penetrate the…
These clever little rulers are used when you want to turn a fold over, be it on a hem of a garment or an edge of a quilt block. Hot Hemmers are made from nylon fibre board which is placed along the fold line, you then use the iron to press the fabric over the…
I am a sucker for a new toy, especially when they actually make light work of a tricky task. The new Clover Tube Maker is one such item that I was lucky to be sent. A little device, similar to bias binding makers, which folds over both fabric and wadding to make a combined fabric…
First I would like to thank UKQU: https://ukqu.co.uk/ and https://www.clover-mfg.com/ for giving me the opportunity to review and test the Clover Fabric Tube Maker. It came through my door three days before I went to the Festival of Quilts show 2022. If you want to check out my mini adventure while at the Festival of…
Although it is small (only 3″ high) it is mighty! I now have this guy permanently set up next to my machine, I do a lot of chain piecing and this cuts down the time (pun intended!) quite a lot. It’s very user friendly and easy to use, it has a standard 45mm rotary cutter…
This new “pin concept” from Clover holds layers of fabric together in an instant. The benefits of both straight pins and safety pins are now integrated into this single pinning tool.
Sewing, whether it is patchwork piecing or garment sewing, is all about the accuracy. The more accurate you can be, the more professional the finish. When starting out, this can be the most difficult thing to grasp. Clover Stitch Guide Quick recap on the 1/4″ seam allowance – by sewing a ‘scant’ 1/4” seam, a…
Plastic clips have been around for some years now. I find them particularly useful for holding my binding over when sewing it down by hand so when Clover were kind enough to send me a set of their Wonder Clips to try out, I was keen to have a play with them. Clover Wonder Clips…
