3 Hearts

These are things that I would like to have, ranging from need-it-now to might-be-nice. Some are cheap and some are really expensive, but they're all things that I would use. Gift cards toward the more expensive items would also be appreciated.

These are needles for Chad's 1879 "New Family" Singer treadle machine, Prudence. They are not made anymore, so they're harder to find - not available at your local fabric shop. These needles are about an inch and a half long, with a full round top (no flat side, like modern Singer needles), and have a groove over the eye - on one side, the groove continues most of the way to the top of the needle. We have a few (3 or 4) of these, but will always need more.
