5 Ways to Turn a Tube Right Side Out

[@aarna6853]

I was so frustrated about not being able to that i cried and left it for 2 years. Then i found this and i finally completed my dress!

[@buzoff4642]

So sorry to hear that! For the ultra thin spaghetti straps, (or bigger ones), this method is common, kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJbRnGN7lL-UodU Works best if your strap end is the fabric selvage edge, as it won't unravel as you're pulling it through.

[@zmoney4842]

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!

[@yourdailytikytoky3338]

Literally I was so stressed that I was crying just now hahah

@Shepherd Kyler why would u hack ur girlfriends insta i-

[@rachelschofield1679]

I’m so happy this is a universal experience

[@bevreader1005]

I just returned from the fabric store with a tube turner. A lady next to me asked what it was used for, so I told her....she purchased one also!! Thank you so much !!!!!

[@Creamyiscool211]

This was a life SAVER! I have a scrunchie business and my least favorite part was flipping them! Thank you so much

[@berenicecogundele2671]

When I came across your video, I was literally at my "wits end!!!" Your video saved me a lot of time, stress and sleepless nights. Thank you sooooo much for sharing. God bless you🎉😊❤

[@hannahlagerquist1063]

This video just saved me like 2 hours of work THANK YOU

[@Aoneify]

Thanks for this, you gave me the idea to use a drinking straw and wooden skewer for my thin straps and it worked just like the easy turn tool!

[@KimMarchese]

Brilliant! I didn't waIt for the other 4 tips after hearing the first one! I used a boba (fat) straw and chopstick. 55 yrs of sewing and never used this technique! Thank you!!

[@BravePip]

If I could update this a hundred times, I would. I was fiddling with a tube for 45 minutes and couldn't even get it started, then watched your video, got a bubble tea straw and a chopstick, and turned it out in 30 seconds. You're a life saver!

[@artfx9]

Omg, it took me 10 mins per tube. And you did it in a second. Thank you!

[@nuthatchluv]

I'm happy to say that using a straw and a pusher and had success. This will be my go to for turning straps.

[@lindalowe4109]

Best video out there for ways of fabric tube turning! Thank you!!!!!!!

[@kathyoshea8049]

FANTASTIC! Method 1 works like a charm. Thank you

[@marcysikes]

Great tips for turning a tube! You have really simplified a sometimes frustrating task! Thanks!

[@nellou5527]

Thanks KZbin for this totally tubular tube turning tutorial taught tremendously!

[@KansasA]

Wow, thank you! I have been making scrub caps with ties and I hate turning the tubes. After watching your video I used an oversized straw my kids use for smoothies and a wooden knitting needle and they worked fantastic! Thank you for the HUGE timesaver! :D

[@linastanciu8616]

the ribbon method was a lifesaver! Thank you so much!

[@susanowen1709]

I only had to watch for 1 min 54 seconds, and I had the info I needed! I used a wide drinking straw (the kind they use for shakes) and the blunt end of a crochet hook. Many thanks! Now to watch the rest of the video 🙂

[@anunfamiliarsound]

Thank you so much. The ribbon trick saved me, no exaggeration, about an hour and a half Vs last time when I only used a safety pin. Hooray!!

[@debbiewhite3270]

Thank you so much. I was sitting here wondering how to turn a strap and found your video. I sewed the end closed so I could do it with just the stick. So easy!

[@riannefarris812]

Bless you, sweet Gailen! I tried a loop puller with no success and your chopstick recommendation finally did the trick with the spaghetti straps I'm working on. THANK-YOU

[@moonsofourmother2815]

Well... today I found out I am an impatient seamstress too! The last one worked for me. Thank You!

[@maryalgar8779]

Really enjoyed this video; love your name and your video backdrop (or whatever you call it - background).

[@christinadoughney9000]

Super handy tips! I didn't even know such a tool existed!

[@TosaNewsense]

#4 is the best method by far, for any tube over 20-ish centimeters long. For anything shorter, I've always just used a plastic (slippery) chopstick or knitting needle And the pointy ends work great for getting my corners perfectly formed. But the ribbon idea is so brilliant, I just adore it. Thanks for sharing these techniques!

[@CR0520]

Also if no ribbon available, for #4 use cut off selvage, great for really thin straps.

[@terryomalley5004]

Just the best sewing tip ever. I used a Tervis extra straw, perfect. Thank you Thank You Thank You!

[@sharonheffner7082]

Oh my word! Thank you, thank you!! So easy and frustration-proof.

[@valerievanelzelingen]

I used my metal straw and its cleaning brush for the stick and tube method. Worked super well hahahaha Thank you for this video!

[@JennyBrown-wq6jh]

Thank you! I had a narrow, short, closed tube I needed to turn out. I didn't have this exact tool, but I used a boba tea straw and a wooden knitting needle, and it worked great! I learned something new because of you. Thanks so much!!

[@kelseycoca]

omg! you are such an angel! I was having a hard turning a tube for a bow tie I'm making, literally just spent the last hour trying to get it to turn and then I tried one of your methods and flipped it in two minutes with a chopstick. I feel dumb but thank you! I was about to give up! lol

[@Jatscats]

I have been making straps for masks. Ended up using a plastic drinking straw to turn the fabric inside out! Thanks for the idea.

[@marcysikes]

I was thinking that I could use a fat drinking straw! Glad to know you used a straw and found it works! Game Changsha!

[@Jacklyn_Mosses]

Finally I did the safety pin technique after 4th tries 🎉🎉thank you so much

[@deenasasidhar7905]

Thanks for this video. I was frustrated with this work before.

[@jeannielindquist3952]

You are fabulous. Like a Sewing Super Hero! TY

[@bevreader1005]

I TOTALLY agree !!!!

[@Landoscurlyhair]

I literally cried because I didn't know how to flip it over for my project. I thought I was gonna have an F, and suddenly the heavens gave me you! Thank you!

[@AliceWanders]

THANK YOU!!! This is the 3rd video ive now sat through for this and this is the only one that actually helped

[@kimberlydaugherty9316]

After watching you use the tube turner I cut a paper towel tube lengthwise then rolled it tighter so it would fit in my tube. Then I taped it near each end and once the middle to hold its diameter and shimmied the tube over it quickly and used a long fat straw from a convenience store soda to easily push it through the tube right side out!

[@jennyvelchev6237]

Thanks! So helpful :) I teach sewing to kids, and this is something that we all struggle with and it takes the fun out of it. These methods are going to help a lot :)

[@adriagoetz2500]

I’m a brand new sewer so BLESS you for this, you just made my life so much easier!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@jooyoungchoi2952]

This is so awesome! I used a stick and a piece of pvc pipe to turn some 1.75 inch straps and it was like magic! Thank you!!!

[@anjalibhagwat9473]

I really did not know how to pose this problem , but i put it in my own words .Thanks to U tube for understanding it.Thank you mam your all 5 methods are great.

[@ruthcasa9536]

I have tried other methods and tools to turn tubes, but it has always been a struggle. Using your straw method, I turned spaghetti straps by cutting a regular straw down the length and removing a tiny slice along the length. I knit for 1/3 scale dolls and I used a long bamboo knitting needle, size 2.0, the diameter is about the size of a toothpick, to push the closed end of the strap into the straw. OMG! It was so easy! thank you so much!

[@bellas8357]

Thank you a bunch for this video! It was super helpful, fast and easy to follow. I’ve been trying for such a long time to nail turning a strap, and I finally found the perfect method thanks to this video!

[@nayanayapantsonfiya]

Thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou! I used my metal straw and a pen that fit snug into it to help. Thankyou thankyou

[@dsteele6266]

Oh my goodness I'm crying, so happy thank you for making this 😄

[@pjszewczyk3673]

That ribbon one. Thank you!😍😍

[@para4050]

Thank you so much! I didn't know tube turners existed and have been using the safety pin method this whole time. It really sucks with long tubes. But after watching your video I used a metal boba straw and a chopstick as a DIY tube turner, and a tube that would have taken me hours to turn took me 5 minutes and way less effort!!

[@cactusflowermoonchild5752]

Yay! Now I can continue making the creatures I want. I had no idea how to turn the tubes and was losing hope. Thank you for this!

[@cnlbrett]

Oh my these tips are amazing. Thank You.

Thanks so much Gailen!

Thank you thank you Making Audrey Hepburn gloves for daughter!!!! Works GREAT

[@Estellamed]

Wow!!!! Unbelievable. Thank you so so much!!!

[@Narrowboatdreams]

Thanks for this. I found turning really tricky but I don't have many tools. In the end I tied a piece of crochet cotton to a wide eye needle and fed it through slowly. Worked but boy it took eons lol. 😊

[@petrona3049]

This was incredibly helpful. I can continue with my project. Thank you so much

[@ericajoystyle]

The best ever. I used a chop stick and a big straw from my bubble tea. It was free and awesome

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I am making a dress for the first time since 4H (8 or 9yrs old, I'm 117 now lol) I want to do a corset type lace up (not sure yet if it will be front or back) but I want to make my own matching string for it. This video helped tremendously. Thank you so much.

[@RaeganScarlett]

117!! 🤣 I’m pretty sure you meant 17, right??

@@RaeganScarlett no 117. I've been 117 for many years now. I like it when people say I look young for my age 😂🤣😂🤣

@@suzzettemackay9003 sorry I’m confused… lol

[@summerhargrave3479]

I have been sewing for over 40 years, and I sure wish I had seen this method sooner...but, I wish they made thinner tubes, I used a honey tube, which worked, but kind of flemsy, and the end of the stick is too pokey, and puts a hole in my strap...I used a crochet hook and it worked perfectly without putting a hole in the strap... thanks so much for this video!

[@cazchappy]

Thank you so much!! You have helped so much 💜

[@charleeng1803]

I used a chop stick n it worked like a charm! 😄👍🏼 thank you for the tip!

[@vanessanwudo5125]

thank you ma'am..this was so helpful

[@carriemcdowall5079]

Saved the day! Thank you.

[@Galfromdownunder]

Fantastic. I had the classic case of a completely closed, inside out long loop tube except for a small side slit. Realized that topologically, there was NO WAY it was ever going to turn right way out! So had to open up at least one end…

[@EricaFisher-n6h]

So helpful and fast!

[@sumaiacosta136]

Magical!!! It made my life so much easier. Thanks!!

[@joycelondon1639]

Thanks for sharing from Atlanta Ga USA 👀 next time helpful

[@chocoboasylum]

I just turned two long straps with both ends open using a Tunesian crochet hook which is like a knitting needle with a hook on the end. The start is a little messy as I had to turn the straps right side out for a bit manually. But once most was inside, I pushed the hook through and pulled the rest of the straps right side out in just a few seconds

[@CandTPublishing]

Running to go get my Tunisian hook... cool tip!!

[@charminbutterfly32]

I use the sewing of string at the end. That is really easy and fast. I too get inpatient at times and look for ways to do things faster. I've used all methods, except the tube one. That seems easy. I have some small pvc pipe pieces around 😉 and plenty of sticks, going to try that. If it works, no need to spend money 😉😉😂

[@dianab9267]

Great video, thank you!

[@malilica55]

Excelent tips. Thanks so much.

[@leechris2796]

I was getting so frustrated. Sewing instructions just say "turn right side out". HOW???!!! This was very helpful - I used the safety pin method. Thanks!

[@alifyapadghawala2069]

You are simply amazing 😀

[@CR0520]

You don't even have to buy an easy turntool. Just keep the big straw from the next time you have 'bubble' tea ( the stuff with the gelatin balls). Use a knitting needle for a stick and you are all set.

[@missimperfectlyfine7]

they’re called tapioca pearls! :)

[@annav6037]

And it’s an excuse to go get bubble tea!

[@blueberry464]

Yay upcycling a straw it's so resourceful!

[@Emily3987]

Tip of the day! Boba straw and some chop sticks!

[@LiaaRo]

Literally thought the same, I had one to hand as well which was incredibly handy, I can say with all honesty it works!!😊
