Skeleton Staff:

We will have skeleton staff on the 22nd, 23rd, 29th, and 30th of December 2014 to process orders.

One of SSS’ much loved customers, Fay Morley of “Park Lane Haberdashery” in Manly celebrated her 100^th birthday on 1^st August 2013.  Still enjoying good health despite her age, Fay goes to work everyday at her shop and her happy character is an inspiration to all her many customers and friends.

On Thursday, 1^st August Michael Castley, National Sales Manager and his assistant Cassandra Gurling drove to her shop to present Fay with flowers and a lovely birthday card but due to the huge number of well-wishers, including members of the media, local police escorted Fay to the nearby Calima Café where a table was decorated with cake and balloons.  Here she was honoured by Manly Council with framed congratulations from both Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and Australia’s Governor-General, Quentin Bryce.  When asked about her plans for the future, Fay’s thoughts are far from retirement.

“Well”, she said with a twinkle in her eye, “I think I’ll keep going till I fall off the twig!”

Happy Birthday Fay and many more, from everyone at SSS.

It has come to our attention that sewing machine companies are telling retailers not to use Klasse needles in their machines.
We find this very interesting as we have been selling Klasse needles worldwide now for over 10 years without any issues. We would like to know where the evidence is that our needles do damage to a machine; how did they come up with this information; or is this just a ploy to increase the sales of their own needles?

Klasse acceptance around the world
Along with thousands of sewing machines needle retailers, wholesalers, sewing schools and other needle experts across the world, we believe our Klassé sewing machine needles to be the highest quality sewing machine needle in the world today.

Our needles are all made using German-made wire and original German technology and are manufactured to meet and exceed the German DIN needle standard.

Today Klassé needles are sold by thousands of leading retailers in the USA, UK, Canada, France, Sweden, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Singapore and many other countries. There is also the www.Klasse.com interactive website where we receive many accolades from our consumers and where every enquirer is sent a reply and sample pack of needles.

Below are some reviews published on the Internet. As you can see, there is not one complaint about Klasse needles. Instead, all the comments are positive and come from consumers around the world.

“Klasse are very nice needles and I’ve used them in practically every brand SM, over the years (though I’ve never sewn on a Babylock). “
“I once had three packs of Klasse universal needles included in a online fabric purchase, as a bonus. I used them; they seemed fine; no problems. …. The Klasse seemed no different than the Schmetz universals.”

Theresa on Sewing.PatternReview.com
“I checked a package I have here, and it says “Made in Germany”. .. They work fine as far as I am concerned, and are recommended by our local Viking dealer.”

Kathy on Sewing.PatternReview.com
“I’ve bought Klasse needles many times from my Viking dealer and used them without problems. I haven’t noticed any difference in performance between them and Schmetz needles.”

“I ‘ve been using Klasse for decades. I put them in equal standing with Schmetz personally. Both are good quality needles. I’ve use both without any issues.”
