So sorry to hear that! For the ultra thin spaghetti straps, (or bigger ones), this method is common, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMuenpN2xMDFm6c.html Works best if your strap end is the fabric selvage edge, as it won't unravel as you're pulling it through.

#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!
@CR0520 Жыл бұрын
Also if no ribbon available, for #4 use cut off selvage, great for really thin straps.

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!

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. 😊

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!

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!

I just turned two long straps with both ends open using a Tunesian crochet hook which is like a knitting needle with a hook on the end. The start is a little messy as I had to turn the straps right side out for a bit manually. But once most was inside, I pushed the hook through and pulled the rest of the straps right side out in just a few seconds
