In 2008, I managed to line up a small booth at the Minnesota State Fair. At the time, I was still hand-grinding points, selling just one single needle size taped to popsicle sticks (it was the fair afterall). Fortunately, I partnered with
Unity Precision Manufacturing, a wonderful family-run machine shop in Minnesota that believed in my vision and invested in the equipment to manufacture my patented eyes and points professionally.
Today,
The Needle Lady brand offers 16 sizes of American-made
Spiral Eye® needles, our economical
Sew Right® line, and premium
PONY traditional needles. We remain a proud, small, family-run business where Mom owns the company, her son and daughter-in-law run the shop, and the family dog answers the door—all to bring the pure relaxation and joy of crafting back to sewers everywhere.
