The one I have was called a 'bone' - looks sort of like a flat piece of bone or ivory - know just what you're looking for; just cannot remember where I got mine.

i got the wooden one (also have the white plastic one) but the wooden one i got at joanns....i think they are better than stillettos or anything very sharp that can go thru fabric.....gina

The Purple Thang works well for this too. I also use a lacquered chop stick.

I have a small plastic rule that is also a turner, Alex Anderson was advertising her multifunction tool that is also a turner - perhaps you could look that up. It's called the essential tool:

When I can't find my bamboo turner-----I use the tool from my cricket machine! It's plastic, but the same shape. Almost like a finger nail file. It's used for creasing folds on paper cards, but works for fabric corners, too!

It's called a "Point Turner".. generally sold at most fabric stores in their notions section. I know JoAnn's carries them... The one I have it bamboo.. Very handy.
You can also use other things, but you want something that has a nice rounded point so you don't poke through the corner.. many times the corners are trimmed closely and that makes them pretty easy to poke right through. |
