Advantages of the round yo-yo tools
- The tool makes yo-yos that are exactly the same time after time. Doing them by hand can cause slight variations in the amount of hem that is turned under effecting the size of the finished yo-yo.
- The guide causes you to sew perfectly spaced stitches, which caused perfectly even gathers.
- The stitching guides are an excellent tool for anyone who has never sewn by hand before making it a great learning tool.
- A slight variation on the provided directions allows an easier grip by hands and fingers effected by arthritis. I found that by trimming away the fabric after the stitching was done, my fingers could lay flat on the tool which eased the pain on the arthritic joints.
- You're limited to the sizes available.
- Expense.
