If you can't find it, upholstery needles are similar to it,Perhaps you could utilise one of those?

If you can't find one in Austrilia, PM me and I can look to see if I have one. Mine would be an upholstery needle. They look the same. It would be easy to put the needle in an envelope to send to you.

I couldn't see a close-up of it, but if it is a curved needle, you can find them in the upholstery dept of Joanns. Just be very careful when you use it, as the tip is very sharp and can cause some nice bloody pricks. Ask me how I know.

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.

Wal-mart carries the curved needles.

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.

you can buy 'half moon' needles similar to this one at JoAnn's they come in a package with i think three needles. I use them to tie my quilts and find they are easy and good.

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
