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! Dana |
I use a orange stick its suppose to be used for manicure it does a real good job on corners and they come in plastic or metal

That little piece of plastic is a total gem that works perfectly and doesn't cost anything.

Linda go to the Quilt in a Day website. Search notions, on page 4 there is a bodkin. I bought one of these in Paducah about 8 years ago. It is a handy little sucker. There is also a wooden thing that looks like what you described.

Called a point turner, not a quilting notion, but for sewing clothes.
