Where do I find APPLI-BOND HAND-SEWING NEEDLES used for 3-D appliqué?

Appli-bond needles are available from Petal Play. These needles are used with the Appli-bond 3-D appliqué technique developed by Joan Shay. Two fabric layers are bonded together with a strong iron-on adhesive. The appliqué shapes are cut from the bonded fabric and attached to a project or garment using the Appli-bond wedge-pointed needle. The needle has three sharp edges making it ideal for piercing the bonded fabric. For more information call (508) 430-0347 or visit www.petalplay.com.
