Clover 8703 Round Extra Large Yo-Yo Maker

Yo-yos for quilt work

I used the yoyo maker to make yoyos for a quilt It worked great.

My daughter and I are enjoying making these. It's an easy project and great if you like making things with your hands. If you plan to sew them all together, you don't have to worry about backing fabric or binding (unless you want to).Save yourself some aggravation and read the directions (with illustrations) first. There's also a tutorial on YouTube.Instead of cutting from pre-cut squares, I am squeezing more yo-yos out of my fabric by attaching the pieces as close to the edge as possible (leaving allowance for the part that's folded over) and then cutting the shape. Or, you can "fussy-cut" them so that your yo-yo has the desired part of the print in the middle of the back of the yo-yo. (This will make sense as you go, trust me).While sewing, be sure to hold down the edge so the needle goes through both layers of fabric with each pass. The directions say to use heavier thread than machine thread because it can break, however that was all I had so I doubled it and was careful not to pull too hard. If the thread breaks when you're tying, you have to start over, which is frustrating when you're almost done!The small size is harder to work with than the others, and you don't see as much of the fabric pattern, but they're cute as an embellishment for a larger project.I am making little fishies right now out of light blue fabric with random little goldfish- an XL for the body and a heart for the tail (sewing the point of the heart to the body). You can line up the fabric print if you think to look at the back of the pieces before sewing together. I think they may become a fishbowl wall hanging if I find something aquatic in my stash. I may use invisible thread to hang them from the top of the "bowl/tank" so the fishies can "swim" - 3D with an interactive effect :) You could also squeeze a tack through the center and tack each yo-yo fish to the wall for a fun effect in a kid's room.Edited to add - As you're cutting around the yo-yo maker, the cut can get jagged. I guess it would be easy enough to make my own template out of a cut but not-yet-sown piece, but it would be neat if they could maybe include that in the packaging.

Making yo-yos is very easy with this tool.

I bought this for my mother to try making yoyo's for herself and she loved it. I have one of my own and have made lots of cute things. If you like hand work and have the patience to spend time on it, give this a try, it is much easier and faster then doing them by hand.

I haven't actually used the product yet but it arrived timely and appears to be as I expected.

This disc makes making a yoyo quilt easier. Do yourself a favor and mark the spot you start with a sharpie. That way you don't accidentally pass where you started and sew more than needed. Once you've made a few yoyos you'll have the hang of it.

This is a really useful tool for making yoyos. It’s super easy to use and you can whip up a yoyo in just a few minutes. Love it.

Heel handig instrument om mooie jojo's te maken. De bijgeleverde instructies zijn duidelijk. Het is een leuke activiteit om tijdens de donkere wintermaanden te doen. Tegelijkertijd kan je zelfs je favoriete podcast of tv-serie volgen.

I really like this size yoyo maker. Any spare piece of fabric I have after Ive finished a project I just make Suffolk puffs/ yoyos, as I have all the different sizes. I have a tall jar that I just keep them in so I can always find one that fits.
