Where in IL are you?
Lauren, I live in Wood River, near Edwardsville. Thanks for your help, this is very frustrating, and I'm not one to give up, but this is getting the better of me! I'll keep trying, wonder if I buy needles in bulk if it's cheaper, the way I'm breaking them, cheap is good! 0h, and guess you could tell, patience is not my strong point, haha!
