Continue until turned tube end comes out of the cylinder. 2) It may be necessary to gather up fabric tube on cylinder to see turned end.) Pull on fabric end until entire tube comes out of the cylinder. Rod will remain in the fabric tube. Use rod to push out corners. If necessary, turn around rod and use pointed end in corners.
