    First, let me apologize if this has already been posted...
    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.

    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

    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 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.
