There's a nifty point turner used in industry that's so simple, I suspect they had it back when that vintage dress was made.<br /><br />Here's a link to Fashion-Incubator where I was first introduced to this tool. http://www.fashion-incubator.com/archive/three_nifty_hand_tools/<br /><br />...and if you want to turn lots of tubes yourself, you can buy one here. http://www.westchestersewing.com/misc/belt_turn.htm NAYY<br /><br />I have the collar turner on that page, and I can attest to ease of use. Granted, I wouldn't want to turn tubes all day in a factory, but that work sure produced a lovely outcome in the pocket you've saved.LisaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01006819220069426357noreply@blogger.com
