NeedleTrak

[View My TQS Profile EditorAnne]

Does anyone know where I can get another NeedleTrak? I bought one about 20 years ago, made by a company called the Quilted Ribbon in Kentucky. Now a Google search turns up nothing.

When you put a needle in your machine, you move the little sliders on the NeedleTrak to record the type and size. Unfortunately, I've lost one of the little sliders off mine.

I'd be grateful for any help finding another one.

Thanks.

I can see why you would want to replace that handy little tool. I love the idea!

Thanks Margo! Loved the Domestic Diva website! So many great storage ideas. Thanks!

It looks like a handy little tracker. I simply keep track by keeping my various needle packages in a little container where they stay in order top to bottom. Top package is always the package of the needle in the machine.

Thanks, Margo. I already found those websites. One's in German (I think), which I can't read, one's out of stock, one doesn't actually sell anything, and one is a good lead. I tried calling the number on the United Notions brochure last night, but the office was shut. I'll try again now!

Nope. United Notions says it discontinued the item some time ago, and can't tell me anything about the company that made it or anything. If anyone out there has one, I'll pay top dollar for it!

hello anne
i checked the website in germany - apparently she has them in stock
cost: EUR 12
shipping: EUR 5.95 (that's for shipping in germany - but as this is small and thin, she should really be able to just pop it into an envelope and send to you)
she ships to all european union countries as well as canada and usa, but not switzerland, probably because of the customs regulations.
if you can't find it from anywhere else - and are willing to pay that much (i find it extremely expensive - exchange rate at the moment 1.458 / 1.385 - that would make it US$26.16 / CA$ 24.86 incl. the postage if she doesn't have any surcharge for shipping to north america... ) let me know and i'll do my best to organize it for you

Thank you, Lotti! I'll give it a try myself first, and if I run into trouble I'll take you up on your offer.

Oh, dear. I went to the page, clicked on "Translate," and up popped the words "Currently not available."

Lotti, do you think you can find out anything different, please?

Thanks for your help.
