I am making my first yo yo's I have perfect circles when I start out but after I stitch them and pull the thread they aren't perfectly round. Are they suppose to be? Monday i am going to get a clover yo yo maker . Maybe that will help. Thanks, Elizabeth
My shop www.theclothesline.etsy.com I sell Crabapple Hill Studio and other Patterns. Pluse lots of other handmade items.
I just posted about the clover yo-yo maker on my blog today. If you want to check it out. Also yoyos are typically a little wonky. But they go more so if you don't keep your stitches the same width away from the edge of the yoyo
I also posted links as to where you can buy them and the differnt sizes and shapes they come in
Wendy, I saw the yoyo maker...Not impressed with it at all. I still prefer to do mine just as you taught me..With the CD disc...I think they are neater and better formed..
I am not impressed with it to do all my yo-yos but little tiny ones makes it much easier and slippery fabric too. But on the whole I will stick to the normal way. i am more interested in the heart and flower shapes those are the ones I think are cool and work so well on little baby clothes items that I make.
It is much slower to me putting it in this tool but I do a see a purpose for it with small items and I like making miniature items. I do not know about the big sizes as I have not had a chance to play with them yet. For all my normal yo-yos I don't see it happening
Sunshine loved all of your creations. The one with the orange peel is really cute. I made a bunch of yo-yos and put a button in the middle and a thread at the top and had the cuttest Christmas oranments Oh, one day I keep telling mysefl I am going to make a catherdale window quilt After I sew I couple more blocks I get frustrated and put it away for awhile. Ha. pinkroses. They can drive one quite insane. Tee Hee.
