use a pencil. That's what they taught us in Home Ec. 50 years ago.

Yes, I have one of those and love it and you can even iron over it when turning smaller points/corners - though I have also used a chop stick or a large knitting needle to turn with, especially if the item was very long or bulky.

i use half of a pinching clothespin, the half without the wire of course. works great. not very long but does the job on small stuff. i also use the same thing to "finger press" seams open.

I use my "wooden iron" all the time and wouldn't be without it.

Eleanor Burns has one. www.quiltinaday.com. It's called a point turner. item #3009 for $3.59.

I use chop sticks.

It,s a point pusher, like a wooden iron. Just saw them at Hancocks in Birmingham their quilting notions were 50% off so it would cost about $2.00. I bought the wooden iron and it was the same price as the point pusher.

I was dining at a Chinese restaurant and took a pkg of chop sticks they provide and it is the best tool for poking out the end of something turned. Told everyone at my weekly quilting group and they all went and got a pair. Best FREE tool you can get your hands on. Try it.

this tool is available at JoAnns in the quilting section - I've always called it a wooden iron, but I think it's a point presser (?)
dunno
