SEWN is focused on helping drive our visitors to support the independent quilt and fabric webshops. Most shop program either are costly to join, keep adding cost after cost for each service they offer or you are forced to give up % of sales which means you can't control how you structure your store offers to your benefit. AND they offer the program to retail chains.
Remember our key focus is online so everything we do will be to help craft a unique quilting and sewing community online and provide shops with customers who may not have know about your store or are too far away to visit. SEWN provides you targeted marketing that works!
