Please head on over to our Facebook sewing community to share tips and tricks. We regularly share information, videos, previews of new designs and would like to see you there.
Where is Marlini Design Fabric produced and printed?
Our exclusive boder print designs are produced and printed in India.
Which fabric bases does Marlini Design offer?
At this stage we are offering modal/spandex base only.
Why are your designs exclusive?
Our designs are limited editions & only get printed once. That keeps us on my feet and ensures you are getting new & fresh designs every time.
We will run a special event once a year where our loyal customers can wish back some designs though. They will be limited and only be offered to our valued Marlini members .
Do you offer Marlini design fabric for retail?
Yes we do. With every pre order round we will get fabric for retail. Quantities will be limited as we are a family operated business (well a mum operated business really) and do not have a large warehouse. We simply need the space for the next designs.
Why do you say we when you speak about Marlini Design, when it is you running the business?
Well that is a good question. I love and value the collaboration with my designers and advisers (mainly friends & family). We are a team.
And then there is you wonderful people. We are all part of this beautiful sewing community. Without ‘my’ team and you guys I would not be able to run Marlini Design. I am very thankful for this connection and how I feel about my, their and your journey. It is a team effort to pull a business off. So that’s why I say we.
