thanks, p38flygirl
I agree as I have made them both ways. You can make them with the maker in half the time.
My SIL has made a queen quilt and cushions for a child's rocker.
She first tried sewing them together by hand, but changed to machine stitching as they started coming apart. This makes them very secure and straight.
Once I go around the maker and gather it together, I sew in each of the creases to secure even better. Then I tie a knot and pull the thread through to the side edge and snip off the thread leaving the end hidden inside. This is just the way I do it!
I haven't reached that part yet as I've only made 260. For the price of the yo-yo maker it is well worth it. You can pick it up at Joann's with the 50% off for under $3.00.
They also come in different sizes and shapes. I used the middle size.
