It’s that time of year again, the IFAI expo — where piers, competitors, manufacturers, suppliers, inventors, and cut and sew enthusiasts from around the nation come together and get inspired.

WHY WE LOVE IFAI

Whether you’re looking for the most cutting-edge fabric, a place to network, or put a face to that voice you’ve been talking with over the phone, this place has what you’re looking for. And we should know! We’ve been here since the start of the week and have been discovering new technologies and information that will shape the contract sewing industry in the year to come.

They say everything's bigger in Texas. And this year’s conference at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas has not been a letdown. With over 800 exhibitors (including yours truly) and more than 15,000 fabric fanatics in attendance, the excitement so palpable you could almost cut it with a well-made pair of shears.

COME SAY HOWDY!

If you’re around, swing by booth 714 and say “Howdy!”

If you couldn’t make it this year, no worries, we’ll have a follow-up post coming soon about all the exciting new developments we discovered at this year’s conference.
