I've been meaning to get in touch and tell you how great the newsletter looked. You do a wonderful job with it! The layout is great, the pictures are clear, it's fun to read and visually exciting. The instructions are easy to follow, too, and I love having lots of pictures with the articles. Liz Ware's little girl's room was just about the cutest thing I've seen in ages. Great work, Patricia! I'll have to think of another article for a future edition.

This is a beautiful newsletter. In my opinion it is superior to anything I have received from Window Fashions.

Recently, I got off the phone with Deb Kearney of Woven Materials, and I could just kick myself for not calling her sooner! I have a trim book here from another trim supplier, and I've ordered LOTS of trim out of it for customers over the past 18 months. I always ordered from the company that I got the book from, but today I happened to think of Deb, who has helped me out many
times with matching trims to fabrics, or coming up with some obscure item I was having trouble locating. I gave her a call to see if she carried the trims I was interested in and to compare pricing.
On the large tassel tiebacks, her price was 32% less than the other supplier! On the rosettes, her price was 42% less! On the organdy loop fringe, her price was a whopping 45% less than what I've been paying ($13.00 versus $24.00 wholesale.) And those prices didn’t include the extra WAA discount!
Those are tremendous prices, and I'm so sorry I didn't think to ask her about these particular trims earlier. I could have saved my customers so much money. And when I save them money on one part of a job, it seems like they usually feel justified in adding on something extra, so they end up spending the same amount of money with me, but they get more bang for their buck.
I learned my lesson - I'll always check with Woven Materials before I routinely order trim from another company. No, this is not a paid endorsement. I just wanted to let everyone know that it really makes a difference who you order things from. And I think it's pretty neat, too, that when you call Woven Materials, you always talk to Deb, who gives wonderful, personalized service.
The WAA Member Discount is 10% off all trim orders. Discount must be mentioned at the time of the order. Contact Deb at Woven Materials at 919-461-3771 or visit her web site at www.wovenmaterials.com.

“I want to share an experience I had recently. A new sales rep came by and left me some fabric books and was also excited about showing me some trim books. However, I had to leave for a consult and we didn't get to them. I could sense his disappoint. I had recently purchased some trim sample books from St. Charles Trim Co. and was happy with what I had. I figured that would be the end of it. But being the good rep that he was he came by a few days later to bring by the trim books. As he pulled them out he told of his company’s great pricing. I recognized that I had some of the same ones so I got them out. He wanted to compare pricing to show me how much lower their pricing would be. He was totally confident that he would beat the pricing I was getting. So as he checked pricing I could see it was not going his way. First he checked a tassel fringe and was shocked by the price. Next the brush fringe and the same thing. So he said that the tassels would really show up the true pricing. Same thing again. St. Charles Trim was quite a bit lower. He said he didn't know how they did it as his company was closer than anyone to the mills. Thank you St. Charles Trim Co. for the value pricing for WAA members!

“Mary Ann. I just have to send you and WAA a huge THANKS! I just made my very first fabric sale and will be placing it on Monday with Kravet. My customer ordered 23 yards of fabric, and I saved her $185 from the store price and STILL made over $250 myself. Just ask me if I’m thrilled!! YES, I’m thrilled. Thanks so much for WAA and all the hard work you have put into it. This is going to make a huge difference in my business.
