We are going to be talking about and showing great tools! The first one is this funny looking thing, called a hemostat. This one was purchased at Harbor Freight for around $3.99, and I wouldn't be without one! It is very handy for turning small arms, legs and ties right side out. So let's see how this bad boy works. Here you see a stitched arm and the hemostat ready for action.
You are going to put the hemostat into the arm, (for our example) and pinch it to the right side of the fabric, now slowly pull the hemostat and work the fabric, so you are getting the right side out.
When you have gotten all that you 'pinched in' on your last grab, reach in farther and 're-pinch' and pull your fabric right side out.
Continue 're-pinching' and pulling until you have your arm turned right side out.
The hemostat is a great tool to have for turning. This maybe a sewing tool you may want to invest in if your sewing and handwork calls for turning many items right side out, especially those tiny items.
