Seems to me there was another thread recently with a picture of a needle like this. I'll check.
OK, here is a similar one but she say's it is a machine needle. Don't see how.

That is an upholstery needle. I have bought several sets over the years. They come with a large curved needle, a smaller curved needle, and very long straight needle--probably 3 inches long, and a shorter straight needle. Both straight needles are very thick and have a large eye. I think the package with 4 different sizes of curved needles would do the trick. I'm guessing that she bent her needle herself.

Funny how she did not answer to the comments left by others. I wonder if she had bent the needle to suit herself? Well I'll keep searching and post again soon as I find the needle: )
