Default For quilters who like to Applique!!!!

I went to a class and our teacher gave us a hint on what to use when you are doing needle turn. She uses the toothpicks that are sold at Cracker Barrel. I paid around $1.50 for a container full!!!!!!

If there's not a Cracker Barrel near you, you can sometimes find the same toothpicks at a grocery store.

I have a dear friend who only uses toothpicks. She wets them with her tongue and then turns the fabric, she does the most beautiful applique and is very fast. It amazes me to watch her.

How do you use the toothpicks? And why are these toothpicks different from the wooden ones found in grocery stores? Thanks

How are toothpicks better or different than turning with the needle??? Applique is something I haven't tried yet but am planning on so I don't know anything from experience, just from reading and listening.
