have you tried the trick with the soda straw? You stick the soda straw inside the item to be turned, use a blunt tipped item like a knitting needle, crochet hook, or chopstick to push the point into the soda straw & continue pushing till the item is turned. Works best with the larger straws. I've tried it and it does work. just an idea.

I bought:
Dritz® Loop Turner
http://www.joann.com/dritz-loop-turner/1048347.html
Clip "N Turn
http://www.joann.com/clip-inn-turn/8588576.html
and a #10 1.3mm crochet hook
The clip n turn was useless.. the loop turner got me close enough but I still wasn't happy. I was able to put he hook end of the crochet needle into the smooshed point and pull it out a little more.. I was afraid to go too far and wreck it..
All in all I think I'm good with where they are now.. the next set I will stitch with a tighter stitch, maybe 15/inch that might allow me to get a little more point..
