nora123 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 So I'm looking for this size needle and everywhere I try does not have it. What is up with this size?. My millie loves this size and I'm getting great tension. Any body know of a supplier. Tried Kingsman and Columbia gorge quilting and they have none.

CWBowser Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I think that Superior Threads sells needles too. You might want to try them. They might have the size you want. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyAboutQuilting Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Nora, have you tried ordering them directly from APQS? They normally have all that stuff on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 That's a big needle. Don't you get big holes in your quilting with those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFQuilts Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Try Mike's Machine Shop - http://www.mikesmachineshop.com/. If they have what you want, there is sometimes a discount on orders of 100 or more needles; you have to call in to get the deal. Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Country Lane (John MItchell) carries that size and his price is very good. Delivery is also quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnCavanaugh Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Nora, APQS carries MR 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 needles. I just haven't found the time to update the website with all the supply info:) A 4.5 is handy for bulkier or thicker thread like King Tut or Polyquilter, and even Lava. It's also helpful with heavier fabric such as denim, corduroy or polar fleece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
