and you should be able to find the "needle spring" at quilt stores.

I found this needle spring and the Darning Spring from a source on eBay last week. I ordered 2 of the darning springs, as they were really cheap. They don't look exactly like the one you had pictured before, Cathy, but attach and work the same. When they arrive I'll put up some pics, or you can search for Darning Spring on eBay and it comes right up.
