Welcome
Hi and welcome to Sweet Stitches. My purpose is to supply you with sewing products you need but can no longer find in the 'big box' stores. Things like English hand needles, baby piping, entredeaux, pleater needles as well as smocking patterns and plates. I hope you enjoy my shop and if your looking for something in particular drop me a line and I will see if I can find it.
Remember:
Whether you're looking for Heirloom patterns or swirly skirts, traditional fabrics or trendy designs, you're a novice or a master we have what you need
Digital downloads
Your files will be available to download once payment is confirmed.
Shipping
I ship within 1-2 business days using USPS 1st class shipping whenever possible.
When I find that the shipping charged was higher than necessary I will refund the overage.
Shipping for Pleater Needles US customers
Needles are shipped in a heavy cardboard envelope to prevent bending. While this would seem to increase the shipping cost actually USPS charges the same rate for 1, 2 and 3 oz. 1 oz is the smallest weight I can use.
Based on this I have set a flat shipping rate of $3.00 for up to 80 pleater needles shipped in 1 package within the United States.
Shipping for Pleater Needles International customers
I am happy to ship Internationally but must calculate the shipping. Please request a custom order so I can add the appropriate postage for your country.
Returns & Exchanges
I don't accept returns, exchanges, or cancellations
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
