Many people use the Clover yo-yo maker, but I just stack a bunch of fabrics and cut out circles. I turn under about 1/4 in. and take a running stitch with a good size needle and double hand quilting thread with a fairly large knot on the end. When getting to the end, pull the thread tight to gather it all to the middle. I take several small stitches on top of each other to secure the thread and end by running the needle inside the yo-yo and outside the edge. Then clip the thread, the tail stays inside the yo-yo.
