I am so glad I found this video. I watched another one, and she did not show close-ups of the yo-yo maker, so I really could not see what she was doing. And ya'll explained it very well. Thank you.
Thank you for your demonstration. I think you could refine your technique by adjusting your fabric size to the yoyo’s so that you don’t waste so much fabric. Also, you do not need two ends to tie as it waste threads: you just make a knot at one end of the thread, and when your sewing is complete, you close the seam by pulling the other end hard and make a regular tight knot to secure. For people dissing the usefulness of the yoyo maker, I say that all is well when you are healthy - but I have a disability that makes it very difficult to make yoyos the traditional way. The shape is easy to hold onto, I stab myself less despite my tremors & the holes are easy to see despite my poor eyesight. Sickness and disabilities make you grateful for little gadgets like these.
I have never had the Yo Yo Maker, always eye-balled it. lol Thank you for the video. Montyollie, they are used for many different 'embelishments' for your clothes and other projects.
+Marny5580 How? You have to cut a circle out at some point. Cutting circles produces waste. No way around it. If you think you need to start with the larger square of fabric, it's pretty obvious that isn't a requirement, just what they did to make showing on video easier.

I love this!
Thank you!! I finally got it!!
Thank you for the video.
What exactly do you use these yoyos for?
To me, this method wastes a lot more fabric ... but to each his/her own.
