                      | I love Yo-Yo's! My grandmother made a Yo-Yo bedspread once, I was always intriqued by it as a kid. But I have never seen heart shaped ones! My mom just found different sized tools to make Yo-Yo's. She isn't sure if it is any quicker?
 Are you going to have a limit of gals to sign up?

                      | Hi Julia and Michelle!  Thanks for the interest.  Yo-yos are the best.  Julia, I wouldn't do it without the tools.  I made an entire coverlet and I got so I could just hammer them out like nobody's business. I've only used the heart shaped one a couple of times.  Using the tool keeps them uniform in shape as well.  Right now, I'll say there's no limit, but we'll re-evaluate that if we get lots of ladies signed up. Happy day~ 
 Follow your bliss!

                      | I have the round Clover yo-yo maker. Guess I will have to search out the heart one now too! Is it as easy to use as the circle?

                      | I bought my heart shaped one at Michaels or JoAnn's and see them all the time.  I think it's a little harder than the circles cuz you have to make a little cut when it's in the plastic -- but I've only done a couple, so haven't had a chance to get in the groove with it.  It's an adventure!

                      | This is probably a silly question but do we sew a button in the center of the yo-yo?

                      | Good good question Star!  Let's not sew on any buttons.  That gives every body lots flexibility in what they do with them.

                      | A yo yo doll is one that is made up of fabric yo yo's strung to make arms, torso and legs.  The head might be fabric or plastic.  When I was a kid, my great aunt made me a clown one -- it's face was plastic sewn on to a fabric hat.

                      | Karen, I think that I would like to try this, I make yoyo's and I have the heart template, and have practiced with it.  So sign me up, guess I need to get started. My husband goes to therapy 3 days a week, and I sit at wait, I take a project and work on, so this will give me something to work on. I have about 300 yoyo's and continue to work on them from time to time, so I don't get bored. one day I can make me a coverlet for my guest bed.  Happy days! Farmgirl  #946   Linda

                      | I think I need to withdraw from this one.  Around here I can't find the large Clover heart template and I can't see paying $7 shipping if I order it from Joann's or Michael's.  I have the small one, but to me you can't really tell it is a heart 'cause it is soooo small. I'll keep my eyes open and hopefully have one for next time. Have fun! 
 
 
 Have a good day!

                      | Debra, can you email me a picture of one of the hearts you made where you gathered it. I did not know it made a difference on what size heart we made. My hearts will be a bit bigger than a traditional round yo yo, I have about 40 cut out just have not yet tried to make one:-) 
 Thank you,
 Debbie
