Subject: 18-gauge needle types - (sm)
I lent out my equipment words book and never got it back! Argh! Anyone know these two needles...
1. S/L 'hausted' needle or 'halstead' needle.
2. S/L 'suss-man' needle.
I will go to Ebay and find another one of these, since I'm apparently not getting mine back, but in the meantime I'd be SO thankful for any ideas!
