Fabrics are often sewn inside out, in a tube form, or in a manner to allow a filler (such as cording) to be added. The process of turning the fabric tube has several variations. Fabric can be turned with a blunt item such as a bobbin or chopstick, or with purchased tools such as the Fasturn, Loop Turners, or Hemostats.

“The last best hope of earth, two trillion dollars in debt, is spinning out of control, and all we can do is stare at a flickering cathode-ray tube as Ollie “answers” questions on TV while the press, resolutely irrelevant as ever, asks politicians if they have committed adultery. From V-J Day 1945 to this has been, my fellow countrymen, a perfect nightmare.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“Then turning to the disciples, Jesus said to them privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.””
