Have used them to make button holes 3x. Fast and cheap and that cuts both ways. Sometimes they are so quick, they might miss making button holes on the pants and only do the jacket. You have to know what you want done and note that you are going to the be one clipping all the extra threads and putting back all the lining at the end. This is not the place you come to chat or get 1:1 service. read more

If you need a buttonhole, I can recommend Jonathan Embroidery Plus. Just don't have them down collar buttons on. I returned to Jonathan Embroidery Plus to add buttonholes to a shirt collar that did not have them. For $5, they put in attractive holes. I bet just a handful of other shops do this work for the general public in the five boroughs. However, I did not make the same mistake and have them put on the buttons themselves. It felt only fair to return and add more context to my review of their work. So they get a qualified four stars. read more

Took a Medelita doctor's white coat to be embroidered as a birthday gift, and it was a hit. The entire department loved the unique blue color! It was not a rush, but it only really took them about 2-3 days! It was exactly what I asked for as well. The young man at the front was courteous, knowledgeable, and efficient, despite their handling multiple customers. I chose to pay in cash upfront, but they offered multiple forms of payment (Zelle, etc.). Price was great value, and the color, spacing, and font for the embroidery work were immaculate. They even offer later pickup hours if you let them know in advance. I will absolutely be returning for my own white coat embroidery needs, especially given price, turnaround time, and central location. read more

It is a gift for my brother's doctorate degree. We were in a hurry to catch a train to Yale University. We purchased the tie at Macy's and two tailor shops in the area told us to come here. The people at Jonathan's Embroidery were very nice and knew exactly what we want. They did it in 40 minutes for a good price. I am super satisfied, and my brother likes it very much. Thank you so much! read more

Jonathan Embroidery Plus - Embroidery on a tie. - Screen Printing/T-Shirt Printing Near Me - New York, New York

Would not recommend. I called to see if I could get some initial pricing estimates before I brought materials to the shop - I was interested in initials on a tote bag, so figured they would be able to give me a ballpark range, wrong. They told me to submit my request online so I did. I then submit my request online, with specs, photos and a description of what I need. I get an email back telling me to come into the store for pricing. I go into the store and wait for a long time, as the owner isnt available and the store clerk cannot do pricing. Once I am able to talk to owner she is quoting me $25 for three one inch letters on a bag - too expensive for what I need, so before she starts scoping the request I apologize and let her know it will be too much for me at this time. She goes well how much were you hoping to pay, maybe I can help, when I tell her I was hoping for something closer to $10 she threw the bag I brought in at me and screamed at me like I just said something highly offensive. (I was maybe talking to her for 2 minutes, I didn't waste her time and told her immediately it was going to be too expensive so this really wasn't called for) I'd go to the thousand other places that can do this or for the price they charge you could buy yourself a nice embroidery machine and do it yourself! Do NOT RECOMMEND read more

I have been using jonathan's for a couple years for all custom projects, from embroidery to patches and even custom covers. They are the best team, always able to work under any tight time frame. It's always a pleasure going in to see Sunny, she's so vibrant and so knowledgable. They're all talented and trustworthy. I love supporting new york business that supports new yorkers! read more

Jonathan Embroidery Plus - Name embroidered - Screen Printing/T-Shirt Printing Near Me - New York, New York

Ines, the lady who does buttonholes is fantastic. Super nice. Perfectionist. 5 stars for her. The guys who do the embroidery in the back are fantastic and detailed oriented. 5 stars for them. The lady in the front can be a little rude and not very customer service friendly. She needs to learn how to speak to her customers in a nicer way. There's no need for attitude. It doesn't hurt to be friendly. 1 star for her. read more

the staff treated me poorly, there's no respect and they back talk and have a bunch of attitude

At first I was hesitant to come to this business because of the one-star reviews, but after going there myself I can understand where the other customers are coming from. There definitely is an older Korean woman running the store, but I did not see any racism. She was talking to an African American woman as if the latter was a regular customer and the other clientele seemed content with the atmosphere in the store. She does talk rather bluntly, but she did not raise her voice to anyone when I was there. I went to get embroidery done on a handkerchief for a girlfriend's wedding and despite the deadline being in two days, she assured me it would be done by then. She gave me a flat rate (not charging by character like some other establishments do) and her assistant was very helpful. Yes, you do need some patience while coming here for a custom embroidery job; there was only one assistant helping me and two other customers. I do advise either calling or emailing them before you come in. It gives them a better understanding of what you're looking for. I haven't gotten my job back yet, but I will update once I do. Update: Picking up the embroidery was fine. Just make sure to have the pink order receipt that they give you the day you make your order. There's a reference number for them to find your job order. Will definitely come back again! read more

The worst customer service possible. They changed prices on the order without letting us know. No clear pricing structure PERIOD. You will be ripped off and have no clear pricing to compare against- even if they QUOTED IT FOR YOU IN EMAIL. Unbelievable. Rude, beyond poor communication, and completely unprofessional. I worked in fashion for 10 years and know what I am talking about. Please take your business elsewhere for the sake of your order and sanity. read more

I was looking to have custom patches made, so I can't speak to the 5 stars reviews about simple embroidery. But I can tell you that [I'm guessing this is the "Sunny" everyone is referring to] was disinterested in talking to me, continued cutting fabric while barely paying attention to my specifics, and DREW ON MY PHONE SCREEN with her blue pen when I showed her my design for visual reference. Wow. Her replies were as if she wasn't listening to me at all. Because she wasn't. And the final straw was her price quote, which was literally TEN TIMES MORE than anywhere else I looked online. So much for wanting to support local business. She's rude and overpriced and I wouldn't come here even to sew a button. read more

THE BEST!!! Sunny and her son run this shop. 100% quality. Excellent work. They are a legend in the garment district. I just picked up an order and could not have been happier. read more

Go here for buttonholes and embroidery! This shop is the best. Fast turnaround times and great quality work. Lots of scripts and thread colors available as well. When you go in be efficient: know what you want done ahead of time as the shop is super busy. The woman at the front desk is very knowledgeable and nice. read more

Love Sunny! I needed some quick embroidery done on my sample hats and I mentioned so to Sunny and she was really quick about it. My samples were done same day! read more

The workers are sooo racist I was here before everyone and she finished everyones else work before mine and I walked in before them. I was waiting for almost 2 hours didn't even start on working on mine they also don't accept card even tho they said they did read more

worst service, unprofessional, arrogant and low quality which matches their cheap price very well

Couldn't be more disappointed. Repeat customer over last 4 years. Paid in advance this time for 35 hoodies, each costing $149.99, to be embroidered only to receive 34 back. Since we hadn't ordered any extras, we had a super disappointed high-perfomer left empty handed at the celebration event. Shame on me for not recounting the items again before we left the facility. And while I tried to make it up to the team member, there wasn't anything that would compensate them appropriately -- the swag was the trophy. On top of that, repeated requests to Donald in order to understand what happened went unanswered. EXTREMELY disappointed and strongly recommend all metro-NY folks to direct their business elsewhere. read more

I couldn't have been happier with my same day custom embroidered friend's new baby blanket. Seemed pretty basic compared to the tailoring being done and the orders I saw being put in. This is no mall kiosk iron on t shirt place! Full-service embroideredor who seem like they specialize in custom order and buttons as well. Tons of selections of buttons and patches available for purchase. Place like Pottery Barn kids say they turn around a custom embroidery in a day, they really don't and the employees don't seem.to care. Sunny was no fuss,no muss. Come here knowing what you want and bring the item you want to have worked on. They don't sell clothing items here like t shirts or hoodies. After spending about 5 minutes discussing font size, color and placement with Sunny, my order was in and ready for pick up 3 hours later. 3 hours is a dream when you call a place like Monogram Cottage on the UES and they tell you it will be 5 business days without ever once asking what your item is. If you want same day device here, I would suggest early in the day. It is cash only and I would think you could work out a price for rush if it was desperately needed. But that is something you would have to take up with Sunny! read more

See all

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. QUICK SUMMARY: RUINED CUSTOM GARMENT 1. They sewed the buttonholes in the wrong place, this cannot be undone. 2. They used the wrong thread color 3 times. 3. They lost my button I gave to them (for buttonhole sizing purposes) 4. They misplaced my hanger, and often times I notice they keep customer's hangers if they forget to ask for them back. 5. They charge you a different price that changes each time, and if they are annoyed with you they charge you even more. They ruined a garment I worked very hard on. I drafted and created all the patterns for this garment, It took me days to finish sewing it and I was very proud of it. I marked my buttonhole and specifically told them that it was the start of my buttonhole, and that the buttonhole would continue to the right of my marking. The lady nodded and said yeah yeah like she knew what she was doing. I also asked them to match the contrasting hand sewing thread that was visible on my vest. I come back to pick it up and they sewed the buttonholes completely wrong, they treated my marking as the center instead of the start, and they did not use the thread color I asked them too. Now my buttonhole is way too close to the edge. I asked them to redo the thread color which they did, but they again did not choose the right color. When I explained their mistake they did not even apologize. They charged me for it even after I told them they had messed it up. The lady was very rude and basically shrugged it off when I told her they made a mistake and I shouldn't be paying for that mistake. If you care about your garments I highly suggest you find another place or learn how to do it on your own, it is not worth it. I wasted 2 hours waiting just for them to mess everything up. read more

Working in hospitality, you get hit with a lot of random last minute guest requests. I needed to have a blanket embroidered and needed it same day. I walked into Jonathan's and the team there was so amazing! They quickly handled my inquiry, halted it to the back and it was ready in a few hours. The manager even called me and told me it was ready, and that if I wasn't gonna make it in time before closing to pick up, to give him a call and he'll let me in. AMAZING SERVICE. read more

Over all pretty rude and bad customer service. I would skip it. Not helpful with questions. People at the store are skeptical and annoyed with their customers. read more

I took a jacket in to have functional button holes done. The staff was extremely helpful and efficient. I had taken my own thread and they used it to complete the process, in less than half an hour, for a mere $22. The lady at the front was extremely professional and thanked me upon completion. I highly recommend this business and will return for future alterations needs. read more

Great place for grommets and button holes! The same day turnaround is amazing, I'm usually in and out within 15 minutes. Price is reasonable as well. read more

Coming here for button holes- 4 stars Coming here for rivets and grommets- 1 star, no matter how many colors and placements examples I did, she still wasn't understanding and I speak Spanish. What she did understand is yellow headed pins mean one thing and pins with flat heads mean something else and having a full diagram and explaining it 3 times etc. Finally after 5 hrs of sitting there and waiting and helping them through the steps, all was completed. However I do feel like I should have gotten some of their payment as I did the planing, re planning and explaining. I can honestly say I survived Jonathan Embroidery. read more

Jonathan's is AMAZING!!!! Sunny was super helpful and did an amazing job. I would recommend her to everyone. She re-did stitching on several jackets and somehow made it look better than the original. Thank you Sunny :) read more

Went on a Monday before noon to have buttonhole stitching on blazer sleeves. Few people waiting, and was served quickly. The work took less than 30 minutes, and the workers are very attentive. My place to go, for buttonholes. read more

Great service overall. Wouldve been a 5 star rating but the time retrieval of my garments kept getting pushed back after being told a specific time. The quality is excellent and will be using them in the future. Thanks again!! read more

Seriously I love this place. They get stuff done fast and the women are super helpful. Same day turnaround. Good prices. Love it!

I had a good experience before them until I asked why a sample was so expensive and the Asian lady working there started yelling at me and told me to go somewhere else. Bad prices, and unfortunately the lady that works there is not friendly and will try and rip you off. I highly urge you to avoid this place and use better embroidery companies. read more

The old asian lady name Sunny behind the glass front desk is so rude. When I was waiting in line, she rolled her eyes at the customer in front of me when he turned around to get something. After my turn, she talked bad about how my samples were so small to the other customer. She just seemed unhappy to work with anyone. read more

If I can give no stars I would. The lady at the front counter has to be one of the biggest b&/$; I have ever encountered. I had some chenille patches developed here and have already made 4 or 5, and then she decided on the 6 time that she wanted to charge me more, actually twice of what I been paying. Are you serious? Other times she made a mistake and tried to blame me for not letting her staff know. What? Honestly I know they do good work, and have some services that only they offer, but if you can take your business else where I urge you to do so. We don't need to be tyrannized by her ridiculous attitude. read more

This place might do good embroidery work - yet to be seen. My wife and I came in here to get jackets embroidered and the front staff was incredibly rude, dismissive, uninformed, and over priced with no explanation to the changes on pricing they'd previously stated. Customer service was super disappointing with an arrogance at the front that made us grab our materials and leave. Lots of other places to go and get embroidery done - if you have the ability to go elsewhere - you should. read more

They may specialize in embriodery, but they are one of the few places left in midtown that you can get packaged patterns (Butterick, Vogue & McCall's.) read more

Although it's pure chaos in there they get the job done. Lady who runs the store is a boss and I respect her. This is the only place I go in the city to get my garments embroidered! read more

I went in on Saturday and the line was ridiculous! I was there for literally 45 mins and they still had a few people in front of me. I had no idea it would take that long and I was going to be late for work so I had to leave. I went again today with an hour to spare and I was still late to work!! The customer service is soooooo slow and they are incredibly rude and unhelpful. They made me resend the email that I had already sent them because they didn't feel like searching through the email. (This was a custom logo embroidery order). I said, "All you have to do is type my last name in the search bar..." The woman said, "That's going to take too long, just resend it." *sigh* Anyhow, I managed to drop off the tops but whoa. They said they'll be done on Thursday. I said that they originally said 1-2 days and she goes, "Well now it's three!" Worst ever. But at least it's done. All this and the prices are average for embroidery. Update: they ended up taking a day longer than promised because they couldn't understand the clear instructions in the email. And they didn't contact me to ask - I found out when I called to see if they were done on day 3. read more

Absolutely do not recommend, and will never go here again. We dropped off 10 shirts here to be monogrammed as a gift for the groomsmen in our wedding. We had clearly labeled the correct shirts with the correct initials and triple checked them to ensure we had the matching sizes/initials. They messed-up 5 out of 10 of our shirts, mixing up four with the wrong sizes/initials and inserting the wrong middle initial for another. Because we did not notice until several days later, we had to scramble to purchase 5 new dress shirts and get them monogrammed days before the wedding, costing us hundreds of dollars -- way more than we would have spent simply going to a higher-quality place. When we called to speak with the manager to explain our situation he was very rude and told us that it was "probably our fault" and went on to ask "can we prove they made the mistake?". Very unprofessional and poor customer service. I urge you not to use their services and highly recommend you go somewhere more professional, thorough and high-quality if you want the job done right. read more
