924.0. "Where to buy upholstery needle?" by TOOK::MORRISON (Bob M. LKG1-3/A11 226-7570) Fri Jul 14 1995 00:17

  Can someone suggest a store, preferably within 10 miles of Littleton, where
I can buy an upholstery needle?
  Here is the story. I would like to stitch up a bad spot on a chair. A friend
told me that you can buy a curved needle to do this job, and that this is called
an upholstery needle. My reason for posting this is to avoid a wild goose chase
trying to find one.
  I want to do this job myself, so please don't refer me to an upholsterer
unless this person also has a store that sells things like upholstery needles.

924.1There's one on RT 2AZENDIA::ROLLERLife's a batch, then you SYS$EXITFri Jul 14 1995 09:327
    There is a store on Rt 2A that specializes in curtains and upholstery.
    Now the old brain cells are going, and someone else will have to verify
    it, but I "think" the name was Calico Curtains.  My wife has gone there
    to get supplies for making roman shades.  It's on the south side of the
    road and it's not a big place.

    And, if all else fails, THE FABRIC PLACE, in various locations
    will have what you need.

924.4any reasonably-stocked fabric storeVAXUUM::SWATKOahead of the Dilbert curveFri Jul 14 1995 12:307
I think most any fabric store would have curved upholstery needes (a.k.a.
"blind-stitch" needle).  They are usually sold in a pack of "craft" needles
that include several other weird needles, (leather needles, sail needles,
several sized curved needles, glove needles, sack needles, etc).  That's
where I got mine.  It was cheap, something like $5 for the pack.
