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. I found the web site again. It has a picture of what I'm talking about. www.softexpressions.com/software/notions/iron6.php - Cached |
I have one and it is called a point turner. I usually use a chop stick though because it is longer and thinner and fits in to tighter places. The point turner is also good to use as a handy presser for short seams.

I have a plastic one that I bought at a quilt shop. It is a point turner. I use the point for the corners and use the rounded edge on curves or for turning circles. I don't recall what I paid for it, but it is a plastic white thing that quilt shops sell. Good luck in finding one, Huggies, Fay

I have the bamboo point turner...have had it for ages! But occasionally I still push out the corner, too!! LOL

No, you didn't dream or make it up! I used to have one and have been looking for another one! Sorry, can't remember, if I ever even knew, what the name of the tool it.

I have such a tool. I brought it years ago for dressmaking. It's called a point turner and made of bamboo. Still one of my favorite tools! Maybe you can find it at JoAnns? Good luck! :lol:

I use a chop stick too!

I do not know the name of it but a cutical stick works,also a wooden spoon works. Try the quilt shops and ask. Could it be a stilleto?
|
I think what you are looking for is called a "woodeni iron". It is about 2 1/2 inches long and tapered.
