Turning Fabric Tubes
Submitted by David Graham

Need to turn fabric tubes? Got spaghetti straps, piping, quilt strips, stuffed animals, fabric belts, or just about any fabric strip you need to turn?? The Fasturn is your answer!

The Fasturn is a set of six hollow brass tubes of different sizes, each one can be used to turn nearly any size fabric tube quickly, easily, and with no damage to the fabric! The Fasturn can be used from tiny spaghetti straps to very large tube quilts, and in one quick motion can turn (AND CORD!!!) the fabric tube. Complete instructions are easy to follow, and the Fasturn is featured on many PBS TV shows (Sewing with Nancy, America Sews, Quilting, etc.) My dad invented the Fasturn, my mom swears by it, and we manufacture right here in Medford, Oregon.
