What is the thingie called that makes it so easy to turn your fabric right side out.
 
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.

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

I have one of these and use it all the time when I need to turn a small fabric tubes. Works like a charm.

I have the ones that use a small plastic tube and a piece of wire or wood like a chopstick. I love mine. Got it an JoAnns, three sizes in the set.

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.
