Awls And Needles Where To Buy

[catskin]

I have an American straight needle machine set up to sew flat. ( straps etc.) I would like to get more awls and needles, The ones in it when I bought it have Champion stamped on them and it sews fine with them, so that makes me believe champion ones would work.

I bought some from Montreal but they are $10.00 each ($100.00 for a 10 pack ) I saw a few months ago that someone on here said they pay $3.00 each. So I am wondering if someone would be kind enough to tell me if they know where I could get them for less then $10.00.

Thanks for your replies. The ones I got are Groz-Beckert so I am guessing that most places that sell this brand could get them. Being deaf I have trouble phoning but will try to get somebody to phone for me.

Any body else ever bought them? I know there are some on here that have Champion machines. And even read of at least one that has a ASN.

When i got my needles several years ago i asked about a box of a 100 and at that time they were a 1.50 apiece buying a 100 at a time. Local they were 3.00 a piece buying 10. Oh they were for a American straight needle.

We have needles & awls for the Champion & they also fit the landis #3 & 16 BUT they won't work in all of the ASN's,they are alittle larger & won't fit in all the machines so I don't try selling them for ASN.I forgot about New England Needle I know they sell Groz-Beckart & would probably have a better price than Pilgrim.

I have an American Straight Needle Machine and also several Campbell/Randall Machines. I discovered many years ago that the needles and awls for the Campbell/Randall Machines work just fine for the American. The needle is the same, and the awl is about 1/8th" shorter than the American, but long enough to adjust according to the needle/awl setting per American manual.

You can get the needles from Campbell Randall in Texas, used to be called Campbell Bosworth Machine Co. until they moved from Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I run everything from 3 cord linen on up. I designed an angle plate for mine so I could use it for Box Edge and French Edge corner stitching. Had several of the angle plates made up 15 or so years ago for resale, then my tool and die maker passed. Sold the remainder through the old Harness Shop News magazine.
