Craft Hobby + Stitch International

I went along with a view to gaining a little inspiration for my very new paper crafting business. I wasn't expecting a massive number of paper crafting stalls as, after all, it was predominantly for fabric oriented industry, but I was really disappointed at how few there actually where. If my business was more geared towards fabric it would have been incredible. It wasn't a total waste though. Some of the creative ways the vendors displayed their fabrics gave me a few ideas, but this is really not geared up for paper craft in the grander scheme of things unless you need a new cutting die or backing paper, but stock and stalls, as I mentioned earlier, were very limited.

Great space, well organised, easy to park and find your way around. The vendors were all friendly and knowledgeable.

There were NO Beading stands, the only one that had booked in, hadn’t turned up! You are TOO expensive for the smaller companies to exhibit there. It’s a REAL SHAME.

Enjoyed seeing so many suppliers in one place and being able to find new ones. Appriciate the free parking, that makes a difference.

Lots of suppliers that were happy to supply to me. Will definitely attend again!5 Stars from me!!

I saw all my present suppliers and opened two further suppliers to provide a stock variation

It was good but a bit like last year and the year before could use some new ideas

Excellent show with some new exhibitors.

I hoped there where more rubberstamp companies

Loved the event but struggled with the layout

Great to put names to face's

found future supplier

A lot of variety.
