Please help! I can’t seem to get the safety pin to start the turn. I get it into the tube (which is 1/2 an inch in diameter) and begin pushing, but the fabric just bunches up at the base of the pin and I can’t seem to get the safety pin down the length of the tube. Please respond!

Great!
Also can be done with a bias cut tape out of the fabric, folded in two and one single stitch. Sewing closer to the fold and away from the raw edges makes it more round than flat.
Cutting the fabric on a 45 degree angle from straight grain, makes it easier to turn the strap inside out.
