Cottage, condo, cave, or castle, no matter where you live, bring Stitches Home.
Hello Friends!
Summer is here! While the weather may be warm, we makers know that it won’t be long before sweater weather returns. This is a great time to give customers a head start on their autumn projects.
We have a marvelously engaged, worldwide community of makers who attend from the comfort of their homes. The Stitches Market is your opportunity to connect with them and introduce your products.
We look forward to working with you! If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected].
All my best,
Nathania Apple

Connect with the community in the Stitches Market
Stitches Expo at Home is the virtual version of our destination shows. We offer students and market-goers a vibrant Market, incredible classes, meet & greets, sponsor presentations, Teacher Features, the Pajama Party, and other great features. Lots of ways to connect with makers from all over!
The Stitches Market is your opportunity to connect with customers from across the country and around the world. Customers can visit you in real time or, if you record your session, via your Show Book Webpage (see below for details). Bring your products to life with a trunk show or seasonal colorway reveal. Feature a designer or the inspiration for your colors. How you use your time in the Market is up to you!
You can host from 2 to 10 half-hour Zoom sessions (these can be combined for 1-hour spots) to introduce yourself and your products to Stitches students and market-goers. Your complimentary Show Book Webpage is a place for customers to get a sneak peek at your offerings, learn more about you, and further connect with you!

Market Highlight Ads
Each day during the event we send Morning Updates to our attendees. These go to both students and Market attendees and contain recaps of the previous day, reminders of upcoming presentations, and other event news. Trackbacks from these emails show a great deal of interaction—especially from our students.
We send emails before 8:00am CT on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. For July Stitches Expo at Home, we offer 6 horizontal ads per day. These rectangular ads are put in the body of each update email in a section we’re calling ‘Market Highlights’. The cost is $35 per ad.
There is a limit of three ads per company and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis until all spots have been reserved.
Ads must be submitted at least 10 days in advance of the show with notes about scheduling preferences and links for the ad graphics. We recommend that your target link goes to a portal page on your website or your show book page on the Stitches.events website. We discourage you from printing Zoom links in the ad graphics as they occasionally need to be updated.
Dimensions for these ads must be 675 pixels wide by 200 pixels high at 72 pixels per inch in JPEG format.
These ads sell quickly; reserve yours today!
