Welcome
I'm a Southern Girl but I really don't enjoy the heat and humidity so when I was offered a transfer to Ohio 12 years ago I accepted. I love Ohio but was really frustrated when I couldn't find the quality fabric or patterns that I needed to create smocked dresses for my granddaughters. So I started Sweet Stitches with my motto:
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

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.
