I think the top one looks the most like the needle used in the video. Showed it to DH and he looked at yours closely. I walked to three stores yesterday looking for the long darning needles and didn't find any. A trip to Hobby Lobby is next on the agenda, a bit far to walk to.
Capucine, I make raspberry jam, pie, shortcake and we eat some on our cereal every morning. We have the everbearing kind and get two crops a season. We freeze some and give many away to family and friends. To pick your own at a farm, one pays $3.25 a pint and we give them away by the quart.
I am looking forward to trying out this type of needle, we tie quilts for charity at our church and if it would speed up the work, will be worth the bother to make some.

I got one in a package of assorted needles. It was either at JoAnns or WalMart, but it has been quite a few years ago so don't know if they still carry them. The package had large yarn needles and then two sizes of this curved needle. I think the needle is designed for upholstery use though.

I have had one for years and think I bought it to fix one of my upholstered chairs. It came with about three or four other different needles. I think I will use it to tie my quilts. Check with an upholster
