Are you kidding? I have been looking for a show, since I started embroidery. I know there is a sewing expo in Cleveland- that has some embroidery in it, but I have yet to be able to go to this. :o
I am just trying to find any resources out there. There is not much in my area - other than the Joann stores- but that is only specific to their machines- and not much in the way of resources.
I can't wait to see what people share! Thanks again!

You didn't say where you are located or if you are looking to travel. I know there's a huge one in St Charles, IL every year and that same one has quite a few locations throughout the country.

Here's their website (http://www.sewingexpo.com/)for you to check out where there's one closest to you. One of the really neat things is if you register and pay for your room in advance, they pick one of the advanced payees and they win an awesome prize package. The prize includes a VERY nice upgrade to a suite and free classes and a lot of nice stuff.

ETA: I'm not sure how far into the embroidery arena they get but there are a number of designers that are registered vendors there so there must be a small portion of that topic covered.

There is also this (http://www.swfmesa.com/general_info/tradeshows.shtml)that may give you some locations somewhat close to you.
