"Please change all of your needles at the same time so that you are not using old needles with new needles, especially if these are from a different source than where the last needles came from." John

Note: If changing from original Amanda Jane or Stanley Pleater needles, be sure to change all of the needles at once, so they are compatible! (same shape, weight and length)

Allbrands.com now offers you the opportunity to buy high quality, premium pleater needles.
These all steel needles are made in South Africa, England, and Australia and can be used on all pleater brands that we carry, except the New Style Read 24 and 32 Row.
They are designed for use with hand quilting thread that will hold the pleated fabric together while not breaking the thread.
The pleater needles are available in quantities of 16, 24, or 32 for your particular brand and model of pleater which you must specify below.
Some needles are interchangeable between different brands of 16 and 24 needle pleaters and some are not.
Therefore, please make sure that you specify so that we can make sure that we get you the correct needle.
The Sally Stanley Company is no longer in business & the needles are not available. You may use Amanda Jane needles in your S.S. Pleater, but you must first remove all other needles first.

How to Use

Each length of floss is composed of six individual strands, allowing you to adjust the thickness of your stitching by using a different number of strands. To separate the strands, take your skein of DMC Floss and find the tail that sticks out. Slowly pull the tail out from the skein until you have an 18” length of floss and cut it off. To separate the floss into individual strands, pull one strand up and out slowly until it is completely separated from the remaining strands. Continue to pull out the number of strands you’ll need to stitch with. To rejoin the threads, hold them together at one end then gently stroke the lengths to smooth and recombine them.

Care & Washing

DMC Cotton Floss is 100% colorfast and can be washed on a frequent basis, without causing the color to fade. The Floss can be washed at very high temperatures 95° C/203° F. Particular attention should be paid to the fabric on which the thread was embroidered. Wash your embroidery with one teaspoon of mild soap such as Orvus. After washing, gently wring it out and rinse it as many times as necessary to get the soap out of it (until the water is clear). Use almost cold water to rinse the piece. Wrap the embroidery in a towel to remove excess water, then dry flat. Place the embroidery on a clean towel, preferably while still damp, and iron on the reverse side, at the temperature setting recommended for the fabric.
