I keep a used machine needle in my pincushion for this..doesn't bend and works good

I believe what you are talking about is the tool made to flatten seams etc. Can not remember the name of it, but I got mine from Clothilde.

I don't know it's name but I believe my local quilt shop here in FL. has it. www.Three Crafty Quilters.com
Hope it's what your looking for.

I just bought a new one to keep in my 'travel' pack. It's a Dritz Quiltling Point turner & Presser. Bought mine at JoAnns a couple of days ago.

I use an orange stick....flat on one end and pointed on the other. Manicurists use it to push back cuticles.

I know what you're talking about but all mine are plastic. I also use a long metal thing with a tiny ball on the end. It's also for turning corners. For the plastic ones, you can try fabric or craft shops.

I think what you want is called a bone folder. check out the scrapbooking section of the craft store. I use an old knitting needle. it is very pointed but a smooth tip that won't go throught the fabric. and it is long to really reach in deep totes and such. good luck Mary

I use a very very long crochet hook with a rounded end, just enough to poke out the corner without doing any damage.
