Fasturn
Specialty sewing tool for turning fabric tubes
About Fasturn
Fasturn is the brand name for a specialty sewing tool designed to simplify the process of turning fabric tubes right side out. The product consists of a hollow brass cylinder that comes in various diameters and a corresponding wire hook with a pigtail-like, sharp end. This mechanism allows users to easily create items like spaghetti straps, belts, purse handles, and decorative trim. It is also capable of simultaneously filling the fabric tubes with materials such as cord or batting to create piping.
Originally patented in 1985, the Fasturn tool has been a long-standing product in the sewing community. It is targeted at both hobbyist and professional sewers, quilters, and crafters. The tool is sold in sets with multiple sizes or as individual units, including replacement wires. While it became less common for a period, leading sewers to find it on resale sites, the product is now more readily available through various retailers and its own website.
