Full details

This Prym Fabric Turning Tool Set is designed for sewers who frequently create fabric tubes for straps, belt loops, or other garment details.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What are the sizes of the tubes included?

The set includes two sizes: Medium (M) and Large (L), designed to accommodate different fabric tube widths.

What is the best fabric to use with this tool?

This tool works best with medium-weight woven fabrics. Lightweight fabrics and some silks also work well. Very thick or extremely stiff fabrics might be more challenging to turn.

How do I know which size tube to use?

Choose the size that most closely matches the width of your sewn fabric tube. The fabric should fit comfortably inside the plastic tube without being too tight or too loose.

Can this tool be used for very narrow straps?

Yes, the Medium size is suitable for narrower straps. However, for extremely narrow tubes (less than 1 cm finished width), it might require more careful manipulation.

What is the material of the turning rod?

The turning rod is made of smooth bamboo.

How many pieces are in this set?

The set includes a total of 5 pieces: two plastic turning tubes (M & L) and three bamboo rods (to match the tubes and potentially for added reach or replacement).

Is this tool suitable for beginners?

Yes, it is a very user-friendly tool that can greatly assist beginners in achieving professional-looking results for fabric tubes.

Troubleshooting

Fabric gets stuck inside the tube.

Ensure the fabric tube is not too wide for the plastic tube. Try wiggling the fabric gently or slightly twisting the bamboo rod as you push. If the fabric is very bulky, consider using a slightly narrower fabric strip or a different turning method.

Difficulty pushing the rod through.

Check that the fabric edges are not caught on the inside of the plastic tube. Ensure the bamboo rod is inserted straight into the fabric tube. For stiffer fabrics, a little bit of pre-flossing with a needle and thread might help loosen the fabric ends.

Plastic tube shows signs of wear.

While durable, the plastic can wear over time. If the inside becomes rough, it might snag fabric. Clean thoroughly. If significant wear occurs, consider replacing the tool, especially if it's impacting performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
