I have the orange and teal clover stitch markers, and I have some I bought from Amazon in a much larger quantity. The Amazon ones I got serve their purpose, but at the time I bought them, I didn’t realize some markers might be “harder” or less flexible than others.

Now I’ve lost enough of them (LOL) that I’m ready to buy some new ones, and I’m hoping not to repeat the same mistake. Worst case, I will buy more Clover ones, but they only come in packs of 20 and I need…. Many markers sometimes.

Does anyone have any direct links to locking stitch markers that are “soft” or more flexible like the Clover ones? I believe I’m looking for a “medium” size marker.

I hope that description makes sense lol, some are easier to open and close, and some open farther, resulting in less snags on my work. The more rigid and cheaper markers also don’t open quite as far, so they’re more likely to catch my stitches while I’m removing them.

I do also use Bobby pins (big and mini lol!) but am looking specifically for the little oval padlock shaped markers right now!! TIA!
