Yellow Tool

I have those. Used them recently. Is there a secret to making and turning the really skinny tubes. I was trying to make them but wasn't happy with my results. I should probably hunt for a you-tube video. I think there is a video for everything any more.

Took a Celtic Quilt class. The tubes were 3/8"
The instructor had us sew the tubes right side out and trim the seam. Then take the press bars and press the seam open underneath the tube. Since you usually sew the tubes down the seam won't come apart.
I used the same method for a stained glass wall hanging. Tubes slightly thicker, but same result with half the fuss.

Thanks for posting this. I'd forgotten I had them and maybe never tried them, or a least it's so long ago I forgot how. Had to look it up, and thought I'd post this in case anyone else had the same question: https://books.google.com/books?id=MQ...0tubes&f=false
Now I will have to figure out where they might be.
