I was facing my last quilt and was ironing the facing back when I went to push the corner out while it was still hot from the iron and *wow* it was easy to get a nice, sharp corner! I then tried the next one cold and it was the same struggle to get the point out properly, so I heated it up and again, it was easier.

So, when you are making your tote bags, turning your placemats or whatever and need to push the corners out, go over them with your iron first and try it while the fabric is warm. It worked for me.
