Andouille sausage casings are prepared on a support (1) with a straight rod (2) ending in a needle (3) with an eye (4) and a cone (6) at the joint (5). Casings are threaded onto the rod, and stitched together with the needle. A stop (8) helps casings be removed when needed. An Independent claim is also included for a threader (7), or Teflon sleeve which slides over the needle and its support (9) for when not in use. This helps keep the casing on its support.
