Question
Cam any one help me to locate a site where I can find needles for my national chain stitch machine They are special with a slit all the way down one side therefore not any othe needle will work Hope you can help me with a resource Thank you for reading my Question Alice
Hello Alice,
I'm sorry that it took me a few days to find your query. We had a family emergency this past weekend and my IN box is now rather full.
I have sent your query to a friend who deals in machine parts in the hope that he can be of assistance to you. I will get back to you shortly. I do not personally know where you could locate needles for your machine.
Regards,
Irene
Hello again Alice,
My friend has made some queries but unfortunately he keeps being directed back to one site only -- see below.
I am sorry I could not locate the specific needles for you.

Hopefully someone at the International Sewing Machine site can be of more assistance to you. Good luck.
Irene

Expertise
I have been a collector of antique sewing tools and thimbles for over 30 years. I am also a dealer in this field and sell on eBay under the name -- serengeti2. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT an expert on antique or vintage domestic household sewing machines used for everyday home sewing. I can offer help when it comes to TOY or miniature collectible sewing machines ONLY.
