Thank you so much Island threads! I had some custom embroidery I wanted done and Lauri went above and beyond to make it happen. Up front about the time frame and pricing, and the final product came out great. If you're looking for some professional embroidery look no further. Can't wait for my next project. Thanks Lauri! read more

She was so quick to respond and accommodating. I can't wait to use her again. Her work was exactly what I requested.

Island Threads is amazing! Lauri has made some amazing creations for me over the last 5 years. She has made branded items for my business, gifts for my family and clients, and items just for me. I know I can come to her with my general idea and Lauri has an incredible talent of visualizing what you describe and makes it come to life. I've had last minute requests that Lauri has made a priority and magically made happen for me! Being a small business, she has huge capabilities. She can work with you to help you fit budgets on big projects with her inside knowledge where to get items you didn't know how to source. I learned this when she showed me the endless possibilities of her ways! Lauri is always a joy to work with and is of the highest professionalism. I have referred many friends and neighbors to her who all say the same thing! She is simply the best in the business. Remember when you support a small business you're helping someone pay their mortgage/rent, put food on the table, and cover their self employment expenses. It's a great feeling to support a one-woman operation as Lau read more

I needed to get two neckties embroidered for a special event that was literally in 3 days. It was a last minute idea that I didn't think was possible. I called all over San Diego looking for anyone who could embroider onto neckties and Lauri was the only person who agreed to do it and do it within 24 hours! Most shops couldn't embroider onto something as delicate as a necktie. We thank you so much for helping us pull this off!! They turned out even better then we imagined. read more

Lauri was amazing!!!! As a Coronado resident I always like to support our local businesses. I had a rush job and reached out to Lauri and three other vendors; one in downtown and one in Coronado declined the job stating they could not turn around in the 3-business days; the second downtown did not even respond. Not only did Lauri respond right away, but she sent me thread colors, etc. to get started ASAP. The embroidery was perfect and Lauri was beyond lovely! read more

Attempted to get this company to perform a one-off job for a gift for my grandson. She became quite hostile on the phone demanding I proclaim an EXACT time to make an appointment with her privately owned business. Told her I could be at least one minute early and she IMMEDIATELY went into a diatribe. She wanted an EXACT time and she would NOT allow for any variation, even one minute. Then she began to tell me how satisfied many of her users were and then continued to grow even more hostile until I hung up the phone. read more
