i have one too. I bought it at a fabric store. I think it was under $5.00, but I forget the name of it.

I buy the kabob sticks from Publix there are about 100 in a package. I use the flat side. They work great. I'm always giving one away to my friends when we sew together. The package is very cheap and last a long time.

First, let me apologize if this has already been posted...
I didn't take the time to read through all of them.

Look up "wooden iron"..in google.

I tried to post a picture..no luck.

You didn't dream it up, but I just use the top of a Ballpoint pen that is kind of a rounded point. Not much danger of poking thru with this.

It is a point turner. Mine is made of bamboo and has one end pointed and the other end is rounded. Clotilde, Quilt in a Day and most LQS will have them

it's called point turner and would probably be sold more with sewing notions than quilting notions

An orangewood stick, it is, or used to be used in manicures has a small end that is flat so you're not as likely to poke thru. They are wood. I would imagine you could find them at Wally World in the nail section. I do believe it is pointed on the other end.

I use a white plastic one made for pushing out points. Look in the notions in your local sewing shop.
