So sorry to hear that! For the ultra thin spaghetti straps, (or bigger ones), this method is common, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Venk0E_Zaks.html Works best if your strap end is the fabric selvage edge, as it won't unravel as you're pulling it through.
Wow, thank you! I have been making scrub caps with ties and I hate turning the tubes. After watching your video I used an oversized straw my kids use for smoothies and a wooden knitting needle and they worked fantastic! Thank you for the HUGE timesaver! :D
If I could update this a hundred times, I would. I was fiddling with a tube for 45 minutes and couldn't even get it started, then watched your video, got a bubble tea straw and a chopstick, and turned it out in 30 seconds. You're a life saver!
Thank you so much. I was sitting here wondering how to turn a strap and found your video. I sewed the end closed so I could do it with just the stick. So easy!
Thank you a bunch for this video! It was super helpful, fast and easy to follow. I’ve been trying for such a long time to nail turning a strap, and I finally found the perfect method thanks to this video!
Thanks for this. I found turning really tricky but I don't have many tools. In the end I tied a piece of crochet cotton to a wide eye needle and fed it through slowly. Worked but boy it took eons lol. 😊
Bless you, sweet Gailen! I tried a loop puller with no success and your chopstick recommendation finally did the trick with the spaghetti straps I'm working on. THANK-YOU
In Australia there’s no such thing as a turn it all tube with the stick. I had to import it in from America but I’m glad that I watched another video of a lady also in Australia making dog collars who suggested to her viewers to buy the turn it all tube. BOY am i so glad! I was doing the safety pin method and that took forever. I’m going to make so many pet accessories in a short time thanks to this. 😊
Thank you! I had a narrow, short, closed tube I needed to turn out. I didn't have this exact tool, but I used a boba tea straw and a wooden knitting needle, and it worked great! I learned something new because of you. Thanks so much!!
I really did not know how to pose this problem , but i put it in my own words .Thanks to U tube for understanding it.Thank you mam your all 5 methods are great.
Brilliant! I didn't waIt for the other 4 tips after hearing the first one! I used a boba (fat) straw and chopstick. 55 yrs of sewing and never used this technique! Thank you!!
#4 is the best method by far, for any tube over 20-ish centimeters long. For anything shorter, I've always just used a plastic (slippery) chopstick or knitting needle And the pointy ends work great for getting my corners perfectly formed. But the ribbon idea is so brilliant, I just adore it. Thanks for sharing these techniques!
I only had to watch for 1 min 54 seconds, and I had the info I needed! I used a wide drinking straw (the kind they use for shakes) and the blunt end of a crochet hook. Many thanks! Now to watch the rest of the video 🙂
omg! you are such an angel! I was having a hard turning a tube for a bow tie I'm making, literally just spent the last hour trying to get it to turn and then I tried one of your methods and flipped it in two minutes with a chopstick. I feel dumb but thank you! I was about to give up! lol
After watching you use the tube turner I cut a paper towel tube lengthwise then rolled it tighter so it would fit in my tube. Then I taped it near each end and once the middle to hold its diameter and shimmied the tube over it quickly and used a long fat straw from a convenience store soda to easily push it through the tube right side out!
I have tried other methods and tools to turn tubes, but it has always been a struggle. Using your straw method, I turned spaghetti straps by cutting a regular straw down the length and removing a tiny slice along the length. I knit for 1/3 scale dolls and I used a long bamboo knitting needle, size 2.0, the diameter is about the size of a toothpick, to push the closed end of the strap into the straw. OMG! It was so easy! thank you so much!
Thanks! So helpful :) I teach sewing to kids, and this is something that we all struggle with and it takes the fun out of it. These methods are going to help a lot :)
I have been sewing for over 40 years, and I sure wish I had seen this method sooner...but, I wish they made thinner tubes, I used a honey tube, which worked, but kind of flemsy, and the end of the stick is too pokey, and puts a hole in my strap...I used a crochet hook and it worked perfectly without putting a hole in the strap... thanks so much for this video!
Thank you so much! I didn't know tube turners existed and have been using the safety pin method this whole time. It really sucks with long tubes. But after watching your video I used a metal boba straw and a chopstick as a DIY tube turner, and a tube that would have taken me hours to turn took me 5 minutes and way less effort!!
I literally cried because I didn't know how to flip it over for my project. I thought I was gonna have an F, and suddenly the heavens gave me you! Thank you!
I use the sewing of string at the end. That is really easy and fast. I too get inpatient at times and look for ways to do things faster. I've used all methods, except the tube one. That seems easy. I have some small pvc pipe pieces around 😉 and plenty of sticks, going to try that. If it works, no need to spend money 😉😉😂
Fantastic. I had the classic case of a completely closed, inside out long loop tube except for a small side slit. Realized that topologically, there was NO WAY it was ever going to turn right way out! So had to open up at least one end…
You don't even have to buy an easy turntool. Just keep the big straw from the next time you have 'bubble' tea ( the stuff with the gelatin balls). Use a knitting needle for a stick and you are all set.
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I am making a dress for the first time since 4H (8 or 9yrs old, I'm 117 now lol) I want to do a corset type lace up (not sure yet if it will be front or back) but I want to make my own matching string for it. This video helped tremendously. Thank you so much.
