Yes, it is a reg. quilt tool. Made just to push out points. Of course I can't think of what it's called right now. Somebody will know though. It's a common tool. Made either from wood or plastic.

Thank all of you for your responses. Once I knew what to call the darn thing, I didn't have any trouble finding them. I plan to get one at JoAnns or Hobby Lobby the next time I'm out their way. Again, thanks.

I have one made of bamboo. I have had it for years and years. Have seen it in Joanns.

sounds like the wood piece that Elna Burns uses to "Iron",press sewn seams. Or also there is a flat round end, on one end and pointed on the other. this is used to turn applique pieces. These can be found in different quilt supply cataloges and QS's.

Try a long knitting needle, preferably a large one.
