This is the perfect container and holder for the mini iron. The small stand that was included with the iron when I first bought it melted. I needed something substantial to use when I was using the iron. This is it.

I've been using Cover mini irons for years, and the stands that come with them are worthless. I've been using a slate tile for a stand, but the iron frequently rolls off it. This stand absolutely fits the whole iron & holds it steady.
The plastic is very thick and sturdy. The top & bottom both have non-slip pads which really grab and keep them in place on the table.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with the functionality & quality of this product & would definitely recommend it.

When I first bought it I wondered if I would ever use it but I have found many uses for it. Very happy with my purchase.

This is a MUST for someone using a mini iron while quilting.
Reviews By Miz B : Date March 15, 2012
This is one of the best sewing notions I've seen! I use these for every sewing project. I made an iPad case and these made attaching the binding amazingly easy. I use these now instead of pins on almost everything. They are so easy to attach and remove and don't distort the fabric in any way. I bought the set of 50 and am so glad I did. I almost bought the 10 pack just to test them out first but am so glad I didn't. I would have immediately gone back and purchased the 50 pack. I may purchase a 2nd 50 pack for bigger projects.

These little babies work really well. They perform exactly as they say they will. No more fussing with pins and thick edges. They hold without distorting. Get the 50 pack so you can use all you want. I used about 18 just going around a pot holder. When you get the corner folded exactly the way you want it ...... pop a clip on it. Sweet.
I've been using them with the serger, too.

These are wonderful little clips--small and hold very firmly. I've now used them to hold binding on a quilt and to organize various size strips for sewing into blocks. They're a great notion to have handy in your sewing box.

These clips are great! They do not distort or warp the fabric as pins do; they can hold several layers of fabric and material, easy to use! I used them while making a fleece vest - perfect: holding 4 layers of stubborn fleece together as if it's nothing. Such an improvement. And the measure markings are perfect for binding and other tricky seams - wherever the end of the clip is on one side, that's where it is on the other side; no more hit and miss when you stitch in the ditch.

A gift for my daughter who quilts and seemed to need something to keep all her mini-iron parts in one place. Works fine.

Great product,shipped and received in a timely manner. Item was exactly as described. Made a great x-mas gift along with the mini iron itself.

Up until I got these handy gadgets, I had generally avoided making pom-poms. Now that I have these, I'm back in love with pom-poms.
Using cardboard as my base was tricky, because the cardboard sometimes bent if it wasn't stiff enough or it would snag the yarn as I tried to remove the yarn from the cardboard.
I've also used the Lion Brand donut-shaped pom-pom makers, which work well, but looping the yarn through the center of the makers can be tedious, because you can't do it in one fluid wrapping motion as you can using a cardboard "maker".
So along comes the Clover pom-pom makers using the best of both worlds....1) fluid wrapping of yarn and 2) ease of removing the pom-pom. Not only that, it has a way of indicating when you have wrapped enough yarn...you simply fill up the C-shaped "arms". No more wimpy-looking pom-poms.
The Clover makers work similarly to the donut-shaped makers, in that two pieces are held and wrapped together with yarn, then the yarn is cut between the pieces and pulled apart. But the Clover gadgets differ from the donut-shaped makers in that there are two "half donuts" (or arms) to wrap. The two halves are snapped closed before cutting the yarn to form the finished pom-pom. Sounds strange, but it works really well.
I highly recommend checking out Cloverneedlecraft's "how to" video on YouTube. Also I recommend use of small sharp scissors for cutting the pom-pom yarn.

These work great for making fast pom-poms, as long as you wind the yarn evenly! Easy to use. I bought all four sizes and love them all.

I found the pom pom maker very easy to use. It came with easy to follow directions and turned out perfect pom poms for the childrens' hats that I have been knitting.

Reviews By Teacher Mom : Date July 10, 2009
What a clever product and it's very easy to use. You just sandwich a piece of fabric between the disk and the holder, trim it and sew around the edges. Then pop out the disk, pull, and voilà, a pretty little yo-yo to decorate something with. I'm using mine to make a soft fabric doll for my daughter. The package comes with a little insert of ideas to use the yo-yo. Don't be fooled by the size, though, this extra large makes a yo-yo only about two inches wide when finished.
Reviews By Viki : Date October 14, 2008
I love this yo yo maker. It really does make it so much easier and the yoyo's come out exactly the same every time. If you like making yoyo dolls, or any other yoyo craft this is a must.
Reviews By Elaine M. Paulsen : Date January 6, 2009
I purchased the x-small, small and large yo-yo makers and I LOVE THEM!!! Not sure how I managed without them before. I plan on purchasing all of them in the near future.
Reviews By K. Huffman : Date September 24, 2008
I bought this because Lion Brand Yarn came out with a super cute pom-pom rug pattern ([...]I was disappointed by the rubbery plastic disks that are supposed to pass for pom-pom makers, and that you can buy just about anywhere, and decided to use the pom-pom maker Lion Brand suggested for this project. I'll post pictures of the tool itself, but suffice to say, this thing rocks. You need to add layer after layer of yarn (don't just do one layer, it will be lame). It just works better if you cram as much yarn on there as possible.

This XL pom-pom maker is awesome!!! I have all the sizes now and I love how big it is. The best thing about this XL one is it has a locking lip on it unlike the other ones. Makes it that much easier.

I hated making pom-poms but now I just whip out this handy tool and I have a pom-pom in minutes. This size maker makes perfect sized pom-poms for baby hats. Haven't used the smallest sized that comes in the package but I'm sure it works fine. Keep your instructions. Although it's easy to use, if you haven't used it in a while you'll spend a lot of time flipping it open and over and trying to figure out how it works. Being a notions/gadget collector for sewing and knitting(like some women and thier shoes) I've yet to find a Clover product that hasn't met my quality and usefulness standards.

What an awesome invention. Makes pompom's so much easier to make and more perfect in appearance. I would suggest anyone who likes the look of pompom's to get this.

Clover makes great pins, but their flower head pins are very, very expensive. This large pack is far more economical than their usual small paper envelopes. However, the pins in this pack are their thick, strong pins. They work well for garment sewing, but for quilting I find I prefer their finer flower head pins, which while less durable are more flexible, and thus do not cause the fabric layers to shift as much, and are easier to sew over.
Reviews By Elsie L. Hutchens : Date August 14, 2011
These pins are made specifically for paper-piecing, not regular sewing or even other types of quilting. The pin IS quite substantial. It has to go through the paper and then two or three layers of fabric. I would not try to use these pins for regular sewing, but they work well for paper piecing.
Reviews By buttonskay : Date April 23, 2011
I bought these based on the reputation of clover sewing supplies. I also have the glass head pins made by Clover, and they have turned out to be great pins. These however, are very thick, I mean thicker than any straight pin I have used. I think for the price, you could get several times more pins for less money, especially if you want just a straight pin (a thick one, did I mention?..). I do have to say, that I think Amazon is a great place to purchase things, so this review is based on the pins only.
