I have also seen them at WalMart....if they have a fabric dept.

I think an upholstery needle would work just as well & you can buy them any place you can buy needles.

I've never seen these either. The one I use is a curved needle that come in a pkg of household needles. I get mine at walmart.

Don't know if this has already been said or not, but Wal Mart has a package of upholstery needles that has a half circle needle that might do the trick for you. After I posted this, I saw the post just above me had the same message, sorry

This was posted here before. I received two of the needles when I emailed the person who was demoing them. I don't remember if it was the same person or video. I'll see if I can find the email address. The needles make tying so much easier and faster. They are not like the upholstery or curved needles you can buy in a package. She asked if I was right or left handed and if I wanted small or large size.
Well that was easy. The email was saved in my archives.

I Have several sets "household needle repair kits" there are different kinds of needles. Two are curved needles like she was using (different sizes). they can be found at Joann's or any other where they sell many kind (sizes) of needles. hope this helps.

They are carpet or upholstery needles and can be bought at any Jo Ann's or even Wal Mart.

I purchased a needle similar to this at the Dollar General. Mine is curved and I have used it for years. They were in the sewing supply section, in a packet of needles used for home repair . The product name was Penn. Had several types of needles for repairing items. They cost a dollar. I haven't looked for one for awhile, so I don't know if they still have them or not. I think they were used to repair carpets and etc. Hope this helps others to purchase one. Deanie

I don't think some of the 'posters' are looking at the video and seeing that her needle is very different from the half circle needle used for upholstery....hers has a short ''bend'' very near the point. Looks like it would work easier than the curved needles. I used a curved one for basting quilt layers once, but almost had blisters on my fingers from trying to manipulate the turn (and basting is not as precise as tying)...the girl also states you can get left or right hand. If she'd offer them on this board, I betcha she'd sell quite a few! But I'm first in line, so fall in behind me!!
