Fabric Tube Turning

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.

Famous quotes containing the words fabric, tube and/or turning:

    We have seen that men are learning that work, productivity, and marriage may be very important parts of life, but they are not its whole cloth. The rest of the fabric is made of nurturing relationships, especially those with children—relationships which are intimate, trusting, humane, complex, and full of care.
    Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)

    Even crushed against his brother in the Tube the average Englishman pretends desperately that he is alone.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    ‘A parted ev’n just between twelve and one, ev’n at the
    turning o’ the tide; for after I saw him fumble with the
    sheets, and play with flowers, and smile upon his finger’s
    end, I knew there was but one way; for his nose was as sharp as
    pen, and ‘a babbled of green fields.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
