Speaking of point turners, I recently saw a tip in a magazine for beginning sewers that I had bought for my sewing student:
To get a good turned point, don't put your needle down and turn your point abruptly, but take two stitched across the top of the angle and then turn your stitches downward and you will have a perfect point, not rounded at all, when you turn it out. I didn't believe it but it worked! Learn something every day!
