Sewing clip

An apparatus for a sewing operation comprising:

• two substantially rigid members, each rigid member with an oval surface having:
• a first surface with a clamping end and a handling end, the clamping end having a tapering width and adapted to slide in a direction away from a stitching point when a presser foot comes in contact with any surface of the apparatus and the clamping end having a length shorter than a length of the handling end;
• and a hinge extension coupled to the first surface and located between the clamping end and the handling end of the rigid member such that the clamping end and the handling end can pivot about the hinge extension;
• wherein the first surface of at least one of the rigid members has a recessed divot extended from the hinge extension and located in the clamping end to hold surplus fabric during the sewing operation, and the first surface is contoured at the handling end;
• wherein the first surface has a flat portion from a tip of the clamping end to the recessed divot;
• and an elastic assembly coupling the hinge extension of each rigid member and biasing the two rigid members so as to secure between the clamping ends a fabric in an overlapping relationship.

A method of assembling an apparatus for a sewing operation, comprising:

• coupling two substantially rigid members with an elastic assembly, each rigid member with an oval surface having:
• a first surface with a clamping end and a handling end, the clamping end having a tapering width and adapted to slide in a direction away from a stitching point and having a length shorter than a length of the handling end;
• and a hinge extension coupled to the first surface and located between the clamping end and the handling end of the rigid member such that the clamping end and the handling end can pivot about the hinge extension;
• wherein at least one first surface of the rigid members has a recessed divot extended from the hinge extension and located in the clamping end to hold surplus fabric during a sewing operation, and the at least one first surface is contoured at the handling end;
• wherein the first surface has a flat portion from a tip of the clamping end to the recess divot;
• and introducing the elastic assembly to couple the hinge extension of each rigid member and to bias the two rigid members so as to secure between the clamping ends of each rigid member a fabric in an overlapping relationship for the sewing operation.
