Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Does anyone have a good trick or use a good tool for turning strips for tote pages/purse handles right side out?
I have a young friend(30) who when she has to turn anything shouts "dotty" . For some reason she is totally unable to turn fabric, even one handed earlier this year I managed.
I like using the fast turn because when you start to turn, you can catch a strip of batting or cording nd magically it pulls right through....then top stitch on both sides for a finished look...Hattie
I use Fasturn Tubes.
I would rather save every penny for material so I use a chop stick to turn. Picked it up free at Pei Wei. Sometimes I use a large safety pin.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, WINE IN THE OTHER, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!"
I got a pattern for a tote and it showed how to make the handles by cutting 4"x22", wrong sides together, press
open, one side Fusible fleece, other side of crease interfacing , iron 1/4 edges in toward center, fold over so right sides are out and stitch open side shut; hope this makes sense...but it looks great and is the way I do them all now.
