I know this video is from 9 years ago, but I'd just like to say thank you, because I'm turning about 4 yards of a 1/4" tube for dress straps and this is SO HELPFUL!!! ❤❤❤
Easier still....attach a double thread longer than your tie, knotted onto one end of the 'tube', sew that end shut, sew along the long edge, making certain you don't catch the thread in that stitching. When done, pull the thread and the end of the tie, through itself! No needles, no slipping anything through after stitching! Cut the thread: done! :)
Thank you. All my turners were too big. I was ready to give up and just make bigger tubes. This was so helpful to me as I am making some Barbie doll clothes and I had few tiny tubes to turn.
It is faster to sew your seam then run a piece of ribbon on a needle through the tube sew one end shut then pull on the ribbon the tube turns right side out. Ta Da
Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I don't use turning tubes (never have), so I'm not able to help with a tutorial for those. I know there are others who have posted videos using them who might be able to help you. Most of my tutorials are the tricks I learned from my mother and grandmother growing up and learning to sew from them. Unless I'm misunderstanding your comment. My video shows you how to turn a narrow tube using just a heavy needle and thread.
AGypsyRed I think I’m in error here. Is there a tool called a “turning-tube”? I’ve not heard of this and misunderstood what you were doing. My apologies to you. I’ve also use only threat and needle to turn tubes.
@@jimkoss3318 Yes, there is a tool called a turning tube. They come in different sizes and are shaped like a straw. They're used for turning tubes of material, but I've never used them, so I'm not sure how they work exactly. You can find them at most stores that sell sewing supplies like Joann's or on Amazon. If you need to turn spaghetti straps or similar size tubes, however, they're too large, which is why I posted my video showing how to do it with a heavy needle and thread.

Using a crochet or knitting yarn needle (made for sewing in the ends of yarn) would work better since it has a dull end. Great tutorial!

works great also with the elastic when making scrunchies.

VERY helpful. Thank You!

Wow, that took all of 45 seconds! Best tip ever!
Thank you!!! I hate turning fabric tubes, and this is so much easier than the way I was taught to do it.
brilliant thank you so much.
I make really long and very narrow spag straps using a very long needle.
Thank you!!!
Awwww thank you for it works like magic 😍😘
Thank you
I think, keeping the needle tip out side and put the other side to inside would be more easier to keep going inside.
Good !!!
👏
The title says “without turning tubes “. I want to see how to do that.

AGypsyRed Thank you very much. I see where I said “threat and needle” I meant “thread and needle”. Although both seem appropriate.
Use a straw.
