I have the Fast Turn tubes and have had them for years. I love them. I just turned bag handles that were each 29" in length for 7 bags and was done in a fraction of the time!

I bought this set about 8 years ago: http://www.fasturn.net/combo-set-1/ I use it for wide tote handles to narrow stems. Works great. The original price tag on the combo set in plastic case is $29.99. The set sure has increased in price!

I have turning tubes and used them alot when I did boutiques and now I just use them occasionally but you can pull or scrunch your fabric down and get more on the tube. I love mine and have had them for a long time.

RECONSIDER USING TUBES FOR BIAS TAPE FOR STAINED GLASS QUILTS.
If you are making the tubes to use between the sections of the stained glass, take a look at Clover Quick Bias Fusible Tape. It is .25 inch wide with each edge folded in and is available in several colors. Black is stunning for the stained glass.
Jo-Ann's coupons makes it reasonably priced.

I have had Fasturn tubes for about 20 years. At first I used them for making sashes and other trims for
little girls clothes because my first three grands were girls and their uncles were marrying and needing
flower girls and junior brides to add to the brides' family
Since the girls have grown, bags and spaghetti straps are still needed and Grandma and Mother still love those
Tubes . Stems and other quilting needs are still more uses for the Tubes.
A good buy!!!
