Well, thanks, WandaVA - I just ordered needles from J. Hittle. Didn't find the bargain you found (I was looking for Micro-Tex sharps) but still the best price I had seen anywhere. And they also have Aurifil thread; not much less expensive than RedRock but at least I won't be paying shipping on two different orders. That place has a ton of stuff I would like to have; I am sure I will be going back again soon. Thanks again.
