NNEP Founders Susan Ritchie, Arch Ritchie and Jennifer Cox named to Stitches Magazine Power List, AGAIN, in 2012! This is the Magazine's list of the most powerful and influential people in the industry today. Ranked from one to 75, everyone on this list has left an indelible mark on the decorated apparel industry - and will continue to do so for years to come. The NNEP founders made it again!

The National Network of Embroidery Professionals (NNEP) is the premiere organization for embroiderers and apparel decorators. The goal of NNEP is to assist apparel decorators with the technical and administrative aspects of their businesses.

       - Best embroidery practices
       - Effective business practices
       - Sourcing assistance
       - Help with pricing
       - One to one counseling about the specific challenges they face
       - Savings from national wholesale suppliers, and
       - Programs that support business profitability.

      "Thank you SO MUCH for all of the great advice. I spent some time yesterday going over what
      we discussed. I am really excited about forging ahead. I shall keep you posted and will
       certainly be calling again!!"
       -Cindy Proctor, Busy Bee Embroidery

      "Thanks so much for the great ideas! You just gave me well more than $200 of information,
       just in this conversation! And I LOVE the fact you picked up the phone - not voicemail."
       -Rosemarie Stefaniw, Lucky 1 Embroidery

      "Even if I only call ONCE a year, this membership is worth it! You ALWYAYS help me take care
       of it, whatever it is, and I so appreciate that! And of course, I call more than once a year."
       - Joyce P, Kickin Stitchin

      "Thanks so much for all you do to help us small embroidery businesses hang in there and at
       times thrive along with the big guys. Looking forward to hearing from you soon."
       - Sue, Walters Embroidery

"We met many of you at the NNEP's Embroidery Mart convention, which was a great event!! We have been talking about starting a business and went to your event to start learning and get a feel for what we wanted to get into. Your classes were so informative and your staff so willing to share there knowledge we ended up buying some equipment and starting up before we planned!! Thanks to you and all your staff for there help, willingness to share and encouragement. We are looking forward to your next event!!"
- Curtis and Melessa, Nana's Workshop

"Can't begin to tell you what a great time we had at NNEP's Embroidery Mart last weekend. We've been in the garment decorating business full time for over 5 years and still we found new ideas, new products and learned some great things in the classes we took. NNEP does a great job of organizing these highly educational shows and we highly recommend them."
