J.T. Trading Corporation was born when Jennifer O'Brien, a long time quilter and international instructor, was introduced to a european company with a wonderful product called 505 Spray and Fix, a basting spray. This company was looking for someone to introduce and promote this innovative product in America. Her interest piqued, Jennifer asked Thom Morganti to join her and handle administration/operations for a company to represent this product. J. T. Trading was established and opened its doors March 1998.

Today, J. T. Trading Corporation is an importer and supplier of sewing notions in the United States. We currently sell an inventory of products consisting of various aerosol adhesives, a fabric protector, and needlework stretchers. These products are imported and sold under an exclusive franchise that includes the entire USA. For the future, we plan to introduce new sewing notions that enhance and complement our product line.

The markets we cover are quilting, embroidery, appliqué, dressmaking, needlework and sewing related crafts. Several of our products also have applications in the general crafts market.

We have a nationwide sales force that covers the entire United States including Alaska and Hawaii. Individuals were carefully chosen for their extensive experience in the sewing craft market. We sell to all the major distributors of sewing notions, to several large mail order catalogs, independent stores and regional chains.

Our in house staff has an average experience of over 25 years in international trade and transportation, importing, procurement, warehousing and distribution, as well as sales and marketing. We created a seamless transportation pipeline between our overseas manufacturers, and suppliers to our Newtown, Connecticut warehouse, assuring a reliable, steady supply of product to our facility. All orders are processed and shipped within 72 hours of receipt.

Advertising in major sewing publications supports our products. We attend, exhibit, teach and demonstrate at major quilting and needlework trade shows; maintain a web site; and write articles for the trade. We work closely with nationally known artists, teachers, authors, and designers to assist with our promotion efforts. Currently, J.T. Trading Corporation is sponsoring a quilt-making contest, which requires the use of our products; we plan to make this contest a bi-annual event.

Our goal is to establish J.T. Trading Corporation as a knowledgeable and eminent resource on sewing crafts through our web site. The primary purpose of our web site will be the dissemination of information concerning quilting, embroidery, needlepoint and sewing. Our web site will soon be featuring the monthly project that will help us showcase our products. Our column called "Ask Jennifer" is a question and answer forum on quilting.

J.T. Trading Corporation is constantly on the lookout for new sewing notions that will complement our product list. We especially want to work with foreign companies looking to enter the U.S. market.

We will help them penetrate the U.S. market by promoting their products through print advertising, special web page presence, mailings, and trade show attendance that will prominently feature their products at our booth. Special efforts will be made to liaison with well-known teachers, artists, authors, and designers so they will recommend our products to their public. We are looking for long term partnerships.

As an innovative importer with a very successful distribution network already in place, we believe we are well positioned to assist foreign and domestic companies in establishing a profitable presence in the United States.
