The turkey lacers are pretty sharp but if you want to dull them a bit you can. Take a metal file and just dull the point a little. I like the sharp point because I can use it to keep the seam allowance down as the needle approaches the seams while piecing.

My new one has a very sharp point but the point is very fine...it can hold onto the fabric without piercing it. Has a lovely wooden handle and is long enough to handle easily. I got mine at the Houston Quilt Show last fall from the Square in a Square booth (Jodi Barrows). My old one was slightly dull...I like the sharp one better. Can't sew without a stiletto!!
