My family has worn their spiritwear since the early 2000s. Our two kids played school and community sports from middle school on, and we bought plenty of tees and hoodies and jackets. We're still wearing a lot of them, too. They're good quality stuff, the designs are always eye-catching, and I don't remember anything being overpriced. I never helped organize the team sales but I've talked with those who did, and they told me that the process was always collaborative. The owners are professional and friendly and easy to work with. I recommend them.

I'd shopped at the Carpentersville location a few times and was 'helped' but never serviced…read more Engagement limited to what could only be described as transactional. No interest in my projects or the products they could provide. No interest in me. They even serviced my machine.- but when I inquired about the screw that was lost either in my sewing room or in my actual sewing machine, they couldn't tell me if it was or wasn't found. I recently decided to drop in and pick up some thread for a project I was excited about. After describing the project that potentially could use up to 50 different colors, it was met with a very less than enthusiastic 'oh'. I was directed to an amazing 50 cent a spool thread sale. I naturally started digging for every color possible. The manager started taking out threads that I 'didn't need.' I have 2 sewing embroidery combo machines, a serger and a 12 foot quilting system that resides in what used to be my living room. I assure you, I need thread. But some were for hand quilting. Now, I'll never understand hand quilting...but I do know that I've got two hands should I ever find the use for a 50 cent spool of thread. In our mostly one sided conversation, are grunts and mumbles even considered conversation? I mentioned that I had sent an email about my machine and I didn't receive a reply. Emails checked...oh...that's the other store. Does that store not answer emails? (They do not). I emailed 9/24. This visit was on 10/2. Email forwarded to the 'right' email that still hasn't received a response. Essentially being a bored house-husband that loves to sew, I set all that aside and ventured out to the Woodstock location. What sewist/embroiderer/quilter/serger bored with lots of money man wouldn't drive several towns over for the chance of getting a 50 cent spool of thread? Even if it's for hand quilting? I walk in- explain that I had been at the other store, explain why I was there, and with wonder in my eyes I stared into the blank gaze of a woman saying 'nope, no 50 cent spools of thread here.' The next 20 minutes we spent...oh..we is me and Mr Money Bags...we pull out bolts...look at patterns, compare colors....then we leave. Customers leave. That's what they do. I'm the type of customer that will tell you why I'm your customer...and why I'm not. So, I did some research. Found owner emails on the Better Business Bureau. Found it odd that the emails listed several versions of a Sewing Concepts domains - but their current 'receive only no reply' emails are sbcglobal Hmmm. Not one to back down, I'm armed with a name. So I email...again...inquiring about Lynda and or Doug Remmers. Surely they'd like to know what's going on within their walls. Would it shock any one to know that the blank gaze that I'd looked into was on the face of Lynda? I'm not sure why I left every encounter with this company feeling 'unliked'. Could be that I'm a man. Could be that I'm a gay man. Could be that I simply have a minimum expectation of consumer engagement and who I am and who I am not willing to give my money to- 50 cents spools be damned. You've been in business for a while, my thousands and thousands of dollars spent on my little hobby may not even matter to you. It clearly matters to me. And probably to customers that enjoy respect, follow through, honesty. Oh...and you'd have seen more of my money, but when I watched you order the ruler that I needed from your Amazon account...it just showed me that I can cut out the middle man. One last thing...50 cent spools sales has to be one of the stupidest decisions ....ever. Quilters buy half completed quilt tops, scraps that should be used for dog beds, and everything in between. We'd pay ...75 cents ...at least. Now, imagine if it was applied to my $50-50 cent thread spools. Maybe with the profits you could get the type of emails that have a REPLY button

The story: I had tried a few others in the area and have found the service, mediocre at best. So, after learning who my seat mates were and sharing my experiences with them, they told me about their shop and suggested I try them out, as they have a more personal approach to the business. So, a few days after we finished our journey and I had unpacked, I started bringing my clothes to Royal, I'll never take them anywhere else again! They truly go above and beyond for their customers!!
