This past week end I was at the ISS Show in Atlantic City and it was a great show!  I had a wonderful time and  met a lot of my students. I also met a lot of new faces and it is always so much fun meeting new people!

I was able to get re-aquainted with people that I have not seen in a long time and the experience was great!

John Urdahl from Stone Mountain Graphics Custom Screenprinting and Embroidery in Owings, MD was the winner of the embroidery training DVD  “How To Create A Profitable Price List For Today’s MarketPlace!”  Thank you John for visiting us at the show.  Please let us know what type of an impact this valuable information will make on your business!

Tracy Trill, my assistant and I spent a lot of time in the Robison Anton booth with some incredible people!  They have excellent quality products and everyone that represented Robison Anton was very knowledgable and gracious!  I had the pleasure of meeting  Bruce Anton, Maxwell Tripp, Harry Katz of KYS Embroidery Supplies and Jory Bender of Dashew Sewing Supplies, all representing Robison Anton.  I also spent a lot of time with Jeff and Gary Kaufman from S.M. Cristall who were also representing Robison Anton.  I am known Jeff and Gary for many years and all of these people represent excellent quality customer service. You have heard me speak of S.M. Cristall many times.

I also had the preasure of meeting Cliff Bolder from Diamond Needle.  When I was in business with my embroidery shop, I purchased a lot of Tajima embroidery machine supplies and parts from Diamond Needle.  They were always very quick to ship and provided good service.    Cliff said that they still carry Tajima parts.

Fred LeBow of Lebow Consulting, invited me to speak in his class on Sunday morning.  He had a very receptive audience that enjoyed his presentation on backings and toppings.  I spoke about my embroidery training website,  my new community site, The EmbroideryCoachClub and the embroidery training videos that I have created.  It was a great class!

I spent the remainder of my Sunday morning in the Hirsch-Tajima booth.  That booth is always wall to wall people with so much activity going on.  The North East sales team were there along with Gaby Finely and Henry Bernstein with the Seit Laser equipment. I had the pleasure of speaking to Kris Janowski and Paul Gallagher, the executives from Hirsch.  Everyone in that booth was very busy during the entire show.

All in all I think that the show was very much a success.  For anyone that was there, thank you for coming!  I look forward to seeing many more of my customers in July at the ISS Show in Rhode Island.
