Kathi Quinn joins RNK Distributing as Fuwari 3D Embroidery Home Division Manager

Kathi Quinn has been promoted to manager of the Fuwari Home Division of RNK Distributing. Fuwari 3D Embroidery is a proprietary process that is used to create a feathery-soft design that stands above the garment or fabric giving it a true three-dimensional look. Quinn will be responsible for sales and marketing of the Fuwari process to home sewing and embroidery dealers as well as setting up Fuwari Festivals.

A Fuwari Festival is a party held at a dealership where customers are invited to come and learn how to create a Fuwari three-dimensional design. It’s a hands-on experience where each attendee sews out and completes a design during the party. Once a person learns the process, it opens the doors to a whole new world of apparel decoration.

Quinn is responsible for training Fuwari educators to conduct parties as well as dealers who offer the Fuwari system. She has been with RNK for four years working as one of the company’s top Floriani product educators and has an extensive background in the home embroidery industry as well as experience teaching. She will continue to teach and train on Floriani products and the home embroidery process as well.

RNK Distributing offers a full line of embroidery supplies and specialty stabilizers including Floriani and Jenny Haskins Magic Range brands and threads specifically developed for the home embroidery market. To check out the entire line of products, free sewing/embroidery projects, visit the Web site at www.RNKDistributing.com or call RNK Distributing at 1-865-549-5115; e-mail: info@rnkdistributing.com.
