Martelli Enterprises
Vendor
Read bio
Martelli Enterprises is an international sewing and quilting supply company based in Pensacola, Florida. For over 20 years, we’ve provided quilting, sewing, and crafting enthusiasts with the tools and accessories needed to pursue their art and express themselves. We produce a wide range of tools, equipment, work stations, machines, and more for sewing, quilting, and embroidery.
Our company was founded by John and Marsha Martelli, whose strong work ethic and commitment to family has helped the business grow beyond their wildest expectations. John became very skilled at fixing things and inventing solutions to problems while working with his father in construction. When Marsha’s mother began struggling to cut fabric, she asked John to create something to make it easier. He invented a tool to sharpen rotary cutter blades, and the rest is history.
Today, we offer a full line of products for each step of the quilting process: cutting, piecing, assembly, quilting, and binding. These products include our cutting system, featuring the only truly ergonomic rotary cutter, no-slip rulers and templates, and cutting mats; our highly specialized cutting tables and work stations; our revolutionary longarm quilting machine; and our binding system.
We believe it truly means something when customers appreciate and recommend your products to others. Research and development is our starting point for providing tools that help customers execute their creative visions. We achieve continuous innovation and improvement through the support of a dedicated research and development team. Our solutions are the result of precision engineering, extensive testing, highly specialized materials, and a good dose of American ingenuity.
The Martelli family has grown over the years, with many children and grandchildren joining the business. Marsha believes running the company has only brought the family closer together and continues to be a blessing in their lives. With a dedication to faith and family, we’re confident the best is yet to come.

Shop 1091

Since my oldest daughter was born in 2010, I have been a stay-at-home mom. It was in 2014, just before the arrival of my second daughter, that I discovered the art of embroidery. What began as a side hustle soon became my passion. After momentarily returning to a traditional job for a year, I realized that it wasn’t for me. So, back home with my babies and determined to pursue my dreams, Shop 1091 Embroidery + Screen Print came into existence. Every day is an opportunity for growth and learning as I create new designs and let my imagination soar. While taking on business orders is relatively new to me, ensuring that your brand is represented exactly how you envision brings me immense joy! None of this would be possible without the unwavering support and organization provided by my husband – he keeps things running smoothly in the shop day after day! We take great pride in offering custom and exclusive designs that we hope you will love.

Missy has been sewing and creating fun projects for more than 30 years. As a Baby Lock Educator for 18+ years, she has traveled coast to coast and on the high seas sharing her love and knowledge of Baby Lock machines. When she isn’t travelling and teaching in retailer stores, you can find her at her new home in Mississippi, aka Missitopia, on a cruise or on Facebook and YouTube sharing her love of all things sewing and sparkly with friends and consumers all over the country. She creates fun digitized embroidery designs, in-the-hoop projects and more. Her webpage is transitioning from missybstitchin.com to missitopia.com plus find her on Facebook in her group Stitchin & Sparklin Fun with Missy B where she does regular instructional videos on various topics from machine techniques, projects and more.
Gayle began her machine embroidery adventures with her Mom in 1996, hosted her first embroidery cruise in 2003 with a group of great teachers and has been involved in the sewing industry one way or another ever since. In 2018 she officially started GaylesNest.com that is transitioning to missitopia.com where she sells various types of vinyl for embroidery and sewing along with cork, must have sewing notions, zippers, hot fix crystals, snaps, hardware for bags and sew much more. She travels to a few in person shows each year and when she isn’t travelling, she is at home in Mississippi, aka Missitopia working her business and plotting and planning the next great adventure.

Embroidery Legacy Software
Vendor
Read bio
This is Shanna and Andy and we are a little mom and pop shop in small town Nebraska. GlitterBugFairy started in 2014 selling embroidery vinyl out of our tiny living room and has grown to all sorts of embroidery and crafting supplies. It is still ran out of our home, but now it is a much larger home (and feels even bigger since 3 of our 5 kids have grown up and moved out on their own now, although the dogs seem to take almost as much time as the kids did!) and have so much to offer both small time and big time crafters, long timers and newbies, experienced and just getting your feet wet people. We print our own custom vinyl with our specialty printer so we have endless possibilities of new vinyl! With just the two of us (and the occasional kiddo that comes over to work when they realize they are out of money) we usually get packages out within the following business day, but can occasionally need 2 business days when we have sales or new prints. We hope you enjoy your time spent on our website and facebook group and hope to see pictures of your fun crafting!

I’ve been involved with machine embroidery since the mid 1990’s and have loved every single stitch along the way. Before my first design completed stitching, I was on the phone putting my name on the pre-order list for PE Design software. I knew software would be the doorway to an exciting adventure.
Machine embroidery is an artistic application of math and science. Being able to create something artistic and beautiful is something I did not think was possible. Let me share something with you – I can’t draw. Sounds crazy, right? Thanks to computer software with the Undo button, I can be artistic without having to rely on my “non-existent” drawing skills

Simply Sweet Fabrics opened its doors in July 2025, inspired from Katie‐Rebekah’s love for creativity, color, and community. As a wife, mama, and lifelong maker, she built this shop to be a place where beautiful textiles spark joy, inspire projects, and bring people together. Katie‐Rebekah lives in the charming town of Gordo, Alabama with her husband and their two little ones, Thomas (4) and Lillianna (3). Their home is full of laughter, imagination, and the happy chaos that comes with three golden retrievers and a sweet cavi‐poo always underfoot. Her days are shaped by the hobbies she loves most — needlepoint, mahjong nights, and book club chats — each one fueling her creativity in its own way. She’s happiest with sunshine on her face, whether it’s a relaxing pool day, a spontaneous beach trip, or a magical Disney getaway (because yes, she’s absolutely Disney‐obsessed). Simply Sweet Fabrics reflects everything that matters to her: family, creativity, connection, and a touch of everyday magic. Every fabric is chosen with intention, every bundle is curated with care, and every customer is welcomed like a friend.

Wife to Joe, mother to 3 and grandmother to 2 wonderful kids already aged 9 and 10! I love machine embroidery but prefer to digitize than to stitch. I love Embird software and teach it whenever and wherever I get the chance. I am experimenting with papercrafting and cutters. I love cutting vinyl to decorate those things I can’t embroider – like my car and laptop bag.
