How do I use a loop turner for sewing?
I am sewing a tote bag and have just finished stitching together the handle pieces. My instructions are telling me to use a loop turner to turn the handle inside out (so the right side is on the outside). I'm pushing the loop turner through the handle tunnel so the hook is sticking out the other side. I'm aligning the inside of the fabric so it's inside the hook, but whenever I try to pull the loop turner out, the fabric just gets scrunched together. In other words, it isn't working. Can someone please help me through this step?
Did you press open the seams before turniing?
When the hook catches, can you help it by turning the edges to the inside?
It may be easier to make a flat strap instead.
