I just purchased from them and they were fantastic. Also, I had either fat fingers when placing the order or the computer glitched and was trying to send the order to a house number that didn't exist!! I had to contact customer service. I was very impressed with the service/support I received. They have become my new go to.

Yes they are fantastic! They have always given me excellent customer service when needed. I bought one of the jiffy steam irons and it came with parts the manual didn't show. Within hours of calling them they emailed me videos of where the parts were meant to go.

I've used Wawak as well, wonderful customer service! I had to call about an issue and they answered the phone immediately :shock: took care of my concerns in a very timely manner

Wawak here! I buy 100 needle boxes. I break needles or I change when I here the popping sound when sewing, which means I have messed up the pointy tip.

I second the recommendation for Wawak. Great selection, very good prices, quick shipping.

The Walmart near me in Shorewood had some hiccups with hand sewing needles. They were there then a few weeks later they weren't. The last time they were back again. Same thing with the Elmers school glue, gone. Just gone. My daughter said all the kids were using it to make slime. Then a few weeks later the store restocked all the back to school stuff and it was back.

Hand quilting needles
 
I hand quilt. Try 123Stitch.com. I just placed my 2nd or 3rd order with them. Shipping is the lowest I've seen. You have to do a search in the search box for "hand quilting needles" to find their selection, but they have a lot. Many brands. I'm going to get some Tulips, Colonial, Piecemakers, and Clover hand quilting needles this time. Plus an 11x17 Q-snap frame, YLI hand quilting thread and a Tulip Needle Threader. Oh and my 1st Jelly Roll. They have a lot of fabric, too. Hand quilting thread, as well.

They also have Dritz, John James, Foxglove Cottage, Roxanne and maybe some more hand quilting needle brands.
Roxannes seem thick to me, eyes are too small on the FCottage betweens. JJ are nice & thin and there are big eye options which make threading easier.

Walmart fabric & craft dept. - 20 yrs ago, I worked the school year there. Had a dept. manager, assistant manager plus 3 employees. Every day we scanned the barcodes on low stock items to order more. None of that is happening anymore.

I was just on the Wawa website and they are out of most machine needle sizes. So it must be an availability issue.

Not only are the needles missing, but other sewing notions are also. Remember when you could buy bra hooks and eyes by the package and not just an extender piece? Broke a hook and desperately looked for the hook and eyes to no avail. Finally found them on Amazon super cheap, plus we have Prime shipping. Now I may never run out of them again!
