This has been awesome! It’s great to get back out here and see all these great customers. We always enjoy coming to Functional Fabric Fair. It’s a very well-organized show, they do a great job of getting the messaging out of who’s going to be here and we couldn’t be happier.

It has been very good! I was expecting only a few visitors but I was really impressed by the quality and quantity of visitors I got yesterday at the fair. First of all, there was a lot of important brands that I was expecting to meet and they were here. I am glad I came, it was very positive and very busy, it was such a full day I didn’t even have time to eat which is very important but business was really great so I am so happy!

Functional Fabric Fair is focused on what I care about. Not fancy booths or large brand booths. They focus on making sure I have brands to show my fabrics to, in an appropriate setting. The educational seminars, certainly help bring in the brands and designers.
