Abstract
A needle bar is made from a support member and a carrier. The needle bar can be made with a plurality of needle grooves. The bar is made by adhering the support member to the carrier. Then the support member is divided into a plurality of individual segments of predetermined length, after the support member is adhered to the carrier. Adjacent ones of the individual segments (a) can be spaced to form a gap narrower in width than the needle grooves, and (b) can have opposing edges shaped to form a concavity having a width equivalent to the needle grooves.
