Try a fabric shop, or a sewing machine store. You could check with the local upholstery shop and see what they might charge to do it for you.

Upholstery needles at any big fabric store.

Hobby Lobby fixed me up!

Any marine supply store (Boats US, etc) will have big needles for rope whipping and sail repair.

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Have a shoe repair shop do it with a machine.

Sewing won't be a problem, I just needed the right stuff.

Butch, You can also find tapestry needles at your favorite Sunday outing. Tapestry ones are great for webbing and also for leather if the holes in leather are prepunched with an awl. Hobby Lobby is a useful resource.

If your looking for just an eye needle, all the suggestions the others mentioned are fine.

If your looking for a good strong sewing machine needle for heavy work, look into your machines brand and ask about the teflon(sp) needles for it!
