Congratulations!!! You're the first person I've watched demonstrating how to do Rouleau straps who didn't cut out out the struggle at the beginning! LOLOL!!! They usually hook in the loop turner (or whatever) and suddenly they've miraculously pulled it out the other end spaghetti strap completed! Thanks for demo.
I know.....and believe me, I was so tempted and I did have to cut out some if the struggle or we'd still be watching!! Thankyou and it's not that bad, just be prepared. Tree
OMG! Thank you so much for that cord way!!! My fabric was always ripping with the safety pin or the thread way!! BIG TIP! : USE SATIN RIBBON INSTEAD OF CORD FOR MORE ROUGH FABRICS! Works everytime!
I use Method 2 or 3, then use tweezers to get the turning started - it's easier than using your fingers, I find. Then I wet the finished rouleau, pin it taut to my ironing board and press out the stretch.
Thanks so much for that, I spent forever trying to do this with no success, the dress making wasnt getting very far, I am off to try again, surely one of these will work!
@@StitchlessTV - I always closed one end and pushed it through with a small tube (usually a crochet hook). Mine were never as thin as yours. Unfortunately I was never taught any of these methods. ❤️
You'll need all 3 choices, if you have to and making the skinny straps! The trick is to stretch out when you press to make the extra skinny. Thankyou. Tree x
Fantastic tutorial Tree. I don't think anyone likes making spaghetti straps, lol. I actually learned to do the string method when I was a wee girl in school, but I think it was a thin piece of ribbon we used. That's my preferred method. Awesome as always Tree. Lee xx
@@StitchlessTV When I was in primary school, every Friday afternoon the older kids could pick a hobby class to go to for the remainder of the school day. It was a fantastic idea. I learned so much from all the different hobby classes. Shame they don't do this now. I always loved Fridays, teehee. Lee xx
Omg this is fabulous!111 i have such a hook thingy but never worked for me...gonna try this again...can’t stand it when a piece of metal gets the better of me....lol.......you are a true genius Tree xxx
Oh no....really not and still hate these...but if you've gotta do them, do them in bulk before a project....so it doesn't impact on the joy of making your garment. Xx
For the third method - If you start turning it over/pulling it through at the end where the string is sewn in it will be much much easier to pull it through as there won't be that much gathered fabric to flip
Out of curiosity how do fast fashion manufacturers do it? I've seen ribbons used as well instead of cord but it must be easy to accidentally sew over them. Thanks for sharing realness Tree!

Perfect. Love the tweezer idea. Thankyou. Tree

Good luck.
This is really beautiful and educative
Aw....That's really nice of you to say.
This is wonderful.
I don't have a tube turner so I really appreciate methods #2 and #3.
Thanks for the tutorial, Tree.
Good....Thankyou for watching as long as method 2 and 3. Tree x

Lovely tutorial! I do appreciate that you left in the parts where you struggled a bit. It will be reassuring when I make one and struggle lol
Well....it is important x
It is helpful. Thank you very much.

My pleasure and Thankyou X

Yes....that's a very good point! Right...I'm goons ask Jenny Holloway. CEO of a massive factory in North London and I will report back. X
Well, it’s been two years and you did not report back
Looooove you for this, here I thought it was easy peasy.
Now I go in strong & prepared!!( ◡̀_◡́)ᕤ
It is easy but depending on fabric, sometimes can be tricky
