Has anyone used the yo-yo makers they sell now and if you have how do you like them?

I haven't tried them - I've asked a few people and they felt the same way Susan does.

Sunshine has used them, see her blog, i think she posted about it. I cannot remember what exactly she said about it, I think she liked them for hard to work with fabrics. I do not remember, ask her or check out her blog. jess

I use them, I put off getting one for awhile because I thought I didnt need another gaget, but it works pretty good, and it turn the raw edge inside and is neater looking . I think it goes pretty fast, and its fun

I have one and like it. However it's the only way I have made yo-yos so I can't compare. My 5yo daughter loves using it and has made more yo-yos then I have with it! Daisy

Maybe I might give them a try. I use the yo-yos for embellishments on the kids jackets I make. I always worry that the edges aren't neat enough.

Stacey,
Where did you order from? Do they have pictures of them? I think I may give them a try. Thanks for all the input everyone.
