10/10 recommend! I found this spot on Yelp and based on the reviews decided to give it a shot. I'm attending a Dodger game for a bachelorette party and wanted to personalize a dodger hat for the bride. Matt was super helpful and knowledgeable! He matched the thread of the LA embroidery perfectly and gave great suggestions on the different fonts and sizing. The turnaround time was less than 2 days. I'm so happy with how it turned out!

I had a great experience with my embroidery project. It was completed quickly, and they were incredibly attentive to detail, making sure everything was exactly to my liking. They offered helpful feedback throughout the process and were so welcoming and friendly. They even offered me water while I waited, which was a really thoughtful touch. This is my third time working with them and I couldn't be happier with the result and the overall experience! Also love that they are able to look back at my previous requests and this helps the process to be quicker!!

Walked into this cute little gem today for embroidery. I found A thread Ahead on goggle. Immediately started following their Instagram and decided to do a walk in and they helped me with the details finding a font and thread color. The graphic designer quickly showed me a sample. I was so excited. It was done in about 20 mins top. Everyone and the owner were very polite and the customer service was 10/10. I highly recommend them for all your embroidery needs. Thank you again to the team at A Thread Ahead. See you soon !

The next camping trip, we will be prepared for the cold evening nights.

What a wonderful experience. Lori & Matt were so helpful. We had our Blankethoodies personalize. They came out perfect! We have received so many compliments on them. Perfect gifts. Thank you "A thread Ahead" Jeanne

Been wanting a jacket like this forever, but never could find it.  So I had it custom made!

I can't stop smiling!! I've been looking for a Social Distortion jacket online forever. Never could find one, so I decided to just make my own. Spent a while searching for a reasonably priced embroidery shop in the valley and came across A Thread Ahead. A few emails with the owner Lori Banks and their pricing guy Matt Hung, and I had a deal set up. I went to the shop and dropped off a Dickies black jacket. We talked about the details of the design. Couldn't believe the customer service for a one-off order. They have a bunch of BIG name entertainment clients, and here I am wanting a cool band jacket. Went over today to pick up the jacket. Picture below. Couldn't be happier with their work! I also ordered a bunch of embroidered golf hats for some friends. Those came out fantastic as well!! Great price, great work product, great customer service. 5 stars!!

Amazing colors!

**Raving About A Thread Ahead's Incredible Service! I cannot say enough good things about my experience with A Thread Ahead! Their meticulous attention to detail sets them apart from the competition. I'd give their customer service a 100-star rating for being incredibly friendly, personable, and dedicated to client satisfaction. From the moment I placed my order to the time I received it, I felt valued as a customer. I am thrilled to have discovered A Thread Ahead and have just picked up my first order - the first of many to come! I wholeheartedly recommend their services and look forward to continuing our relationship!

What can a say, this company came in clutch. We are a soccer club traveling to play in a soccer tournament Memorial Day weekend in Florida . We needed our soccer cleats bag to be embroidered with our club. They did an awesome job and the service was phenomenal. Our boys were excited with their new soccer clear bags. Thank you for such a great job.

Lori was super helpful, her suggestions made the experience quick and easy. Their prices were the best around, affordable and fast. Highly recommend! Thanks Lori

Great work and super accommodating and friendly! They helped me with a very last minute need. Thanks A Thread Ahead!

We had an amazing experience working with A Thread Ahead. We had a last second project of about 25 blankets that needed to be embroidered for company gifting. Lori and her team were absolute rockstars and got them all to us even with a short notice. The embroidery was perfect and exceeded our expectations! Definitely recommend!

See all

The…read morequality of the shirts we got is very good and the technique used to put the graphics on will last for years. It is not a cheap iron on, the logo is printed into the actual fabric. The prices Epic charges is very reasonable and the customer service is great, you can see the various designs their in the shop, sizes, etc. try them on for fit, choose the weight of the shirts, dry fit, athletic, etc. We gave them all our info as far as sizes, numbers, logo, etc. and I would say in less than two weeks we had our finished shirts and they looked great. No complaints at all. If you are looking to buy shirts for your sports team, special ovation or any time you need some custom shirts, go to Epic Athletics and you will be happy you did. Enjoy.

They run a tight knit company that is patient, understanding, and is easy to deal with when it comes to uniforms, designs, etc. Their prices are affordable and competitive as well. You can give them your design or have the Epic team design something up for you. They will make the uniform to your liking and have a quick turnaround for you as well. Our Renegades, Hungover, CBP Stampede teams have dealt with Epic for a couple of years now. Thanks to Will and the team for the wonderful jerseys and shirts.
