It seems I have lost my instructions before ever using my flower yoyo maker. I think maybe I have figured it out. Are they supposed to be kind of puffy in the back? Anyone else made these? |

I have used the flower one a little more, and actually I think I like them better without doing the middle part. I find I don't mind the puffiness as much and it looks prettier, I think. |

my daughter has been using these lately she said she really likes them. So if you have a kid who might like sewing they might like these. She likes it because it helps her keep her hand stitches even while she is learning to control the needle more. She has been using the tiniest round ones.
have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe

Sunshine...you?? slow and clumsy? at hand sewing? I don't think so...really can't believe it. But then again it must be ok that sewing is not so easy for me. I keep at it and will practice practice practice.

Oh, ok. Thanks Katie-ell and Sunshine. I saw the thing in the middle, but I didn't know what it was for, so I didn't do anything with it. I think I can figure it out now. Thanks a bunch! |

I never iron mine and they are flat on their own. Gathered but flat.

You are to stitch the middle separate thread and the puffy part is to be pulled through the middle front and makes the flowers center.

I can probably copy my directions and send them to you. The center is done with a separate thread and drawn up to become a center sticking out in the front (although mine don't quite work out that way). And yes they are puffier than a regular yo-yo. The are not as easy to do -- I've made a couple and am telling myself to make at least 10 before judging them as not-so-fun. They are cute, though! Email me if you want a copy of the directions.

Hey Heather,
I haven't tried using the Clover yoyo maker yet...but when I finish hand stitching my yoyos I iron them, to press them down so they are not so puffy.
have fun yoyoing....
