Bodkin: Clip 'n' Glide

I am just learning to sew and purchased this because it was on the list of things to buy for a sewing class that I took. It worked so well that other seasoned sewers in the class purchased one after they saw how well mine worked. It is very flexible but sturdy.

Great for feeding elastic after sewing waistband and also for turning fabric tube

Bodkin holds fabric/elastic very tightly. Super easy to use. I used it mostly to hold elastic to feed thru narrow channel. I have many different bodkins, but this one is my go to for most projects. Clip is easy to push down and release. It’s long enough, but sometimes a longer bodkin would beneficial. Quality product. Highly recommend. Easy to use if you have arthritis.

This is perfect for quickly feeding elastic through casing. I thought the flexibility might be an issue, but it actually makes it easier to feed the elastic quickly.

It’s good to be able to get those odd pieces of equipment for a reasonable price. I was able to finish my project post-haste.

After having used a safety pin as a bodkin for many years, I finally decided to get myself a real bodkin to see if it works better than the safety pin. Yes it does! The bodkin's clamp is very strong and doesn't let the elastic slip out half way through the job. It glides smoothly through the casing and because it's longer than the safety pin, it can thread elastic through the waistline casing in about half the time .

Clover products never disappoint. I have tried several other brands and they are worthless after a short period of time, but clover brand always lasts. Easy to use and great quality.

I’ve owned a dozen of these over the years. They’re the greatest tool for threading elastic into a casing or a scrunchie! Excellent for drawstrings. I ve only purchased more because I lost mine or gave them as gifts!
