I saw a demonstration somewhere online about a gadget that makes it a breeze to turn long skinny tubes of fabric inside out. It was like a long piece of metal. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I really need one asap. Thanks! :o

Mine is called a Loop Turner and some people call them Tube Turner. It really does make it a lot easier to turn fabric inside out.

Maybe you are thinking of the fasturn which consists of different sizes of aluminum pipes and a wire hook. It is a set and will turn different sizes of fabric tube. Try www.fasturn.net or google it.
Joann Fabric has a set of tubes,cant remember the ofical name, for this purpose. It is on their notion wall. I use mine alot. There are several size tubes for turning fabric.
I use a medical tool like big, long, thin scissors that clamp. Hemostats I think they are called. They use them to clamp off blood vessels during operations! There are brilliant and are available in some of our quilt shops in UK
Bodkin, loop turner, or tube turner.
I use a Bodkin.
I have one of these and use it all the time when I need to turn a small fabric tubes. Works like a charm.Quote:

They sell them at a quilt shop just outside of Jacksonville, Oregon.... Can't remember the name of the thing or the shop, but the shops in a commercial type building on the south highway to Medford.
