When I started sewing tote straps again, I decided I didn't want to do any of that turning. So, I do the methods described above. Haven't had any problems....

I simply use a wood skewer rod. They are very slim and will work with anything, plus they are very inexpensive. I like to use this as a tool when I am making the tie strings on flannel pj bottoms. :)

I never even thought of not turning the strap. I certainly will from now on!! Great idea!!
|
I use stamp tongs. :) They work awesome for me

I prefer not turning them -- a lot of hassle and I prefer to add a bit of batting to the straps so I do the fold over and run several lines of stitching.

I don't like turning a tube right side out. This method also has more layers making it stronger and wear longer.
