Long Sewing Clips for Bag Making, Quilting and Sewing Projects
Long Sewing Clips provide extra reach compared to standard sewing clips, making them ideal for holding thicker materials, wider straps and bulky sewing projects securely in place while you sew.
The strong metal spring and longer body help distribute pressure across a larger area, making these clips particularly useful for bag making applications where multiple layers of fabric, interfacing, foam, vinyl faux leather, genuine leather or webbing need to stay aligned.
Unlike sewing pins, these clips won’t leave holes in your materials and are easy to reposition as you work.
Why Bag Makers Love Long Sewing Clips
- Perfect for holding double folded bag straps before sewing
- Great for tote bags, handbags, backpacks and crossbody bags
- Excellent for securing binding and bag gussets
- Holds multiple layers securely without shifting
- No pin holes in vinyl faux leather, genuine leather or waterproof fabrics
- Easy to remove and reposition while sewing
- Bright assorted colours make them easy to spot on your sewing table
- Useful for organising cut pattern pieces and fabric sections
A Handy Alternative to Sewing Pins
Many bag makers prefer clips over traditional sewing pins when working with thicker materials or fabrics that could be damaged by pin holes.
These clips are especially useful when sewing:
- Vinyl faux leather
- Genuine leather
- Waterproof canvas
- Webbing
- Multiple layers of interfacing
- Bag foam
- Binding and edge finishes
Stay Organised During Bag Construction
One of my favourite uses for these longer sewing clips is attaching pattern pieces directly to cut fabric, lining and interfacing pieces.
This simple trick helps keep important information attached to each piece, including:
- Pattern markings
- Placement lines
- Strap positioning marks
- Zipper placement guides
- Construction notes
It’s a simple way to stay organised, especially when working on larger or more detailed bag projects.

Choosing the Right Sewing Clips
Different sewing clips are useful for different sewing jobs, and many bag makers like to keep more than one style in their sewing room. If you’re unsure which sewing clips are best for your projects, be sure to read my Ultimate Guide to Sewing Clips for Bag Making, where I explain the different clip styles and how I use them when making bags.
- Standard sewing clips are great everyday clips for holding fabric layers, seams, binding and small sewing sections.
- Long sewing clips provide extra reach and are especially handy for wider straps, bulky layers and larger bag making projects.
- Wide mouth sewing clips are designed to accommodate thicker projects as the wider opening allows them to grip thicker sections that may be difficult for standard clips to hold.
- Metal and pointed sewing clips are helpful for smaller areas, curves, corners and more detailed sewing jobs.
- Magnetic sewing clips / Fabric Grips are particularly useful when working inside bags, helping to hold pockets, straps and other components securely in place where larger sewing clips may not fit.
Having a few different clip types and sizes gives you more flexibility when sewing different styles of bags, accessories and quilting projects.
