They're all I use for hand sewing. And - I didn't go through every response to this thread so if someone already mentioned them...apologies. Thanks, but I'm in Canada and shipping costs for something so small and inexpensive as needles it astronomically high. I'm trying to find a Canadian source.

I was going to order a pack of each of the three sizes they offer (because I didn't know which size would be best) and then something went wrong with their website... They were going to charge $40 for shipping!!! And I'd placed two other online orders with them this week, one for the leather gauge I wanted, and another for the Stohlman books. The gauge wa $8 shipping, and the books shipping was $16. $40 for three packs of those needles was crazy! I tried to call them and finally when I got to speak to someone I was put on hold until disconnected. I'll probably place the order but I'm not going to pay $40 to ship those needles. Something is wrong there. And as soon as I have time to wait on hold again I will try again.

Members Tugadude Posted February 3, 2022 Members Report Posted February 3, 2022 Yes, something very wrong there. Hope it gets worked out. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted February 3, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted February 3, 2022 What size needles do you want? I probably have enough to send you some to get you started. FOC Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

FOC Thanks for the very kind offer, Fred. But I've found a Canadian source for what I (think I) need. I really appreciate it though.
