I just love all the in the hoop projects but can someone help me with the turning out of the purses. How do you get the corners so crisp as in the pictures.

I use a kebab stick -the blunt end. Funnily enough I was bought a corn on the cob the other day at a market and my 'significant other' suggested I keep the sticks as they were thicker than the kebab ones I use and perfect for turning things :)

A chop stick(unused!!) from your local Chinese take out works great!

Wooden skewers often found in kitchen shops have a sharp end and a blunt end and come in several different lengths these come in handy and are very cheap. I also use these when I sew to push fabric along, the needle doesn't break if I accidently get it too close./Lillian

I clip the corners so there is not too much bulk and I use a chop stick to push it out.

Hi Suki,

There is also a special tool called "The Purple Thang". It has a pointed end and you can thread ribbon through it too. Love and blessings Chris

you need to snip the corners , but not the stitching ,to reduce the bulk, then pock the corners out ,I use a chop stick

Use something blunt to poke the corners out. I grab a crochet hook or the wooden end of a paintbrush. Nothing sharp or you will be starting over.
