Their corner booth at Paducah was the most fun of all the booths, and their products are new and exciting. They are starting their own quilt show in Pensecola!

So Paducah doesn't want them back? That sucks. I am dying to get their mat and ruler. But right now I don't even have a sewing machine any more, so that has to wait.

I saw them out here in MO at the quilt show in april? their binding tool was awsome. want to get me those clips.

So, they don't want them back because they are too "fun"! Because their booth attracts too much crowd and causes "flow" problems?

I would think those would be good things for a show.

From the schedule looks like only AQS shows are the party poopers. I don't get it, their booth was always in the back corner at Paducah, lots of room and the people in the booth were doing demos constantly. They were energetic and never slowed down showing how their products worked. They were the hardest working reps at the whole show!

I have the binding tool and clips. I thought why did I buy this after I got home but now it's the only thing I use for holding my binding in place. I have used the same clips for almost two years and they still fit like new. I got the small size.

That's a shame!

The quilt shows are the ones losing out on this decision!!!

Martelli Enterprises is coming to Pine Belt Quilters 13th Biennial Fiber Art & Quilt Show in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, October 8-10, 2010.

We will have more than 400 quilts on display plus one of the Hoffman Challenge traveling exhibits.

Why don't you come down South and see us?

They should have adapted the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". With the news of this going around, makes me wonder what the next show will be like...if attendance would be up or down. Darn shame
