I showed the video from the other day, of the girl using a needle bent like this, to my DH. Yesterday we went to Hobby Lobby just to check it out. He found this and bent it with his pliers. Now I just need to make another quilt that needs tying! :-D

I used a large curved needle for tying quilts. I think it is called an Upholstery needle. Works great!!

Me too! I have no idea where or when or why I acquired an upholstery needle, but it works great for tying.

They used to make an "assorted" package of needles that included a curved needles in a couple of different sizes. Of course, that was probably about 30+ years ago! LOL!!!

I contacted the woman in the video and she replied. She is sending me info how to get the needle she is using in the video.

thanks, BellaBoo. It is too bad that there wasn't more info with the video, but good that you got a reply.
