Questions & Answers

What is the point of calling it a "set" when there is only one object?

I have a question for you. There are also other models of bodkins made by Clover. These have two parts and work a bit It may have been best to purchase two types just in case the opening was too small to accommodate it.

I expected the head part to be a little smaller than it was
4/5

In addition to having a lot of tools that serve the same purpose, I'm also an avid tool collector. The head of this tool was too big for some of the projects I was working on so I had to use another tool to finish the job because it did not fit into the opening. I was also not pleased with the clipping, as it slipped and let go of the fabric as I was turning it.

I use it to pull through elastic waistbands
5/5

It works great! Several reviewers have noted that the head clip part may be too big for pulling through small items such as elastic for a On the other hand, this is a better option than safety pins for waistband elastic. I did not have to cramp up my hands like with a safety pin because the head clip holds on to the elastic securely. Despite the fact that you will not likely use it for all of your bodkin needs, it is a great help for the right application and I wish I had bought it sooner.

Useful tool that is easy to use
5/5

If you'd like to remember what it was like to thread through an elastic when creating garments, think back to that time. The safety pin we used to thread the fabric was usually a prayer that it would hold onto the fabric. The genius behind this device came up with a clever concept of holding fabric with a thread and threading it through a slit. It is one of my favorite tools.

This tool is really useful
5/5

One of my favorite sewing tools is this one, I use it all the time. Pulling elastic through pre-formed holes is made much easier with this tool It fits even the longest of casings because it grasps the end and its length enables it to get through even the most challenging It used to be that I needed to insert a safety pin through the opening using a safety pin. It would be great to have a sewing machine that makes sewing so much easier!.

I would say that it's a bit large
3/5

I think the design is very good, but the clasp that holds the elastic is quite Considering the size of the material, I can't use it in the casing for the masks I am making. In my experience, it works very well as long as you use it for waistbands or something larger than a mask casing.

It may be useful for smaller fabrics, but not for larger ones
3/5

The Clover bodkin has a lot of positive reviews. In spite of this, I am somewhat disappointed after using it. With lighter fabrics, such as cottons and silks, it might work. In reality, because of the grip's lack of hold, the device is not as effective when it comes to turning fabrics of a heavier weight, e. g. There are plushies, fleece and faux furs as well. The durability of the product is also important. There is a thin layer of plastic on it. There is a possibility that it will break. Using this machine is easy since it is operated by clicking the white lever down, which engages However, I think a metal bobkin may be my best option.

Sized just right and flexible enough for any situation
5/5

We are making scrunchies for our daughter, and I was looking for a bodkin that would make threading elastic through the tube even faster than with safety pins. It is easy to thread elastic around curves with this bodkin since it has a good degree of flexibility. I'm not sure why this is referred to as a set since there is just one bodkin included.

It is the best tool I have ever used
5/5

We bought this for our use and that of our daughter. Does what it is supposed to do. It also helps to feed it to the back and clamp it down so there is no fraying of the item. It will probably be sooner rather than later that I order another one so we won't have to share.
