Dritz made one a few years back. It was called a point turner and some of the Dresden Plate rulers included it. I don't know if it's still on the market.

Good luck, you aren't dreaming or crazy, although sometimes I feel like I am when I know I have seen something that is no longer on the market.

It's a point turner, you can easily use household items. I have used a chop stick, taken apart a pen and removed used the bottom part after having removed the ink and top half of it. Chop sticks work the best though
I have done a few quillo quilts, and these are the items I used

I usually just take the ink cartridge out of an old ball point pen and use that, it's not sharp enough to tear through the fabric but it's pointed enough to give a nice corner.

Duh! I didn't see the message in front of me.

I have one, it is called a bamboo point turner and creaser. I use the flat side to press open my seam allowance instead of using my thumb nail or fingers. They cost abt. $ 3.00.. just type in bamboo point turner and you will find the one you are looking for. Like it because it does the 2 things.

is this it? http://www.clotilde.com/list.html?ca...source=GGCSLNK

If that isn't it I know what you are talking about, I have one but don't know where I found it! I'll keep looking

I don't know the name but JoAnn's has them. You can also use the tip of it to mark for quiting designs---does a great job and no marks to get rid of. I love mine.
Good luck, Kutnso
