Clover 4002 Hera Marker for Applique & Sewing, White, 1

I was dubious about this, but having tried loads of hopeless markers, this was the last resort. It worked brilliantly for quilting lines. It wouldn’t be as effective if needed to be longer lasting, but for this it was perfect. Clover is always reliable

Easy threading of elastic through sewn channels

I have many clover tools and this one is a fabulous edition to my collection. I would say the point is very pointy and goes through fabric easily when turning things out. It hasn’t damaged it though so that was ok but need to go more carefully in future. Would definitely recommend if you have tight piece to turn out, like toy doll arms, or just like very neat corners. The other side of the tool is very useful.

I bought these bodkins to pull through thick elastic for a project, I already have a standard (massive needle type) bodkin, but the clip one from this set looked ideal for the intended purposeOne of these is essentially a pair of tweezers with teeth with also a retaining clip to hold tight when ‘set’ to grip, it completed the task I needed it for quickly and effortlesslyThe other bodkin has a wired frame so although I haven’t yet used this one, I have tested it and it is very flexible so I imagine it’s perfect for threading through on curves and cornersI have photographed next to my existing bodkin to show the sizes of these two:I easily bent the wired one to show its purpose (it bent back into shape just as easily)The clip type bodkin is shown fully open in its max setting and I have included a close up of its teeth

Expected better quality from Clover. Better ones out there at more competitive price. They are also quite small and flimsy. Only one really works.

Really sturdy and great for getting elastic round casings. Good size and easy to maintain grip.

I am making a quilt and the needles always seemed a bit blunt and too thick to push through the layers of material - despite having numerous needles to choose from, I decided to try some new ones…these Clover needles are wonderful, sharp, skinny small eye, but not impossible to thread… I did break my first one, but trying to be more gentle, it is so easy to use these they sew through the layers as though it were silk and don’t leave big holes!!

They do what they are supposed to. Worth watching a you tube clip if you haven’t used before. I was hoping they would be more substantial
