He operates out of his apartment so don't be surprised when you go to drop off your clothes. You'll be invited into his home filled with mementos and plants.

Highly recommend for excellent quality work at a great price.

Sewing isn't just a hobby for Ms. Antoinette; it's her profession, and she takes it seriously in the best way. She's direct, clear, and highly focused on making sure you actually learn the craft. That level of structure and repetition might feel intense if you're not used to direct feedback, but it's exactly what makes the class so valuable. When you're in her workspace, she's committed to making sure you walk away with real skills--not just a casual experience. What I appreciated most is that you always know what you're going to get: consistency, clarity, and high expectations. Plus, she's funny and extremely knowledgeable, which makes the experience even better. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who truly wants to learn how to sew and improve their skills. Notes: BRING CASH the first day of class. (Not Venmo, Cashapp etc. CASH!!), Bring a notebook, review your notes before class and add a reminder of what you should start with at the next class)

I have found stains remained (although, admittedly, these were not stains that I pointed out to them when I dropped it off!).

I'm a clothes horse who wears a shirt and a tie every day. When I found out about Kc, I was anxious…read moreto try them. The prices were very good, less than many high end, off the rack, ill fitting, name brand shirts. I called Keith, and he told me when he'd be in to measure. He didn't show, so we made another appointment for him to come to the retail business I manage. Another appt, no show. I applied the 3 strikes rule, and he came. The fabrics were amazing, the options were exactly what I wanted, so I placed my order & paid in advance. He's been doing this for 35 years so the trust was high. Delivery was 4 to 6 weeks, which is reasonable for custom. At week 8, I called him to find out what was going on. I was told there was a fabric back order, and that they would be ready soon. I said, no problem, just don't rush them. I wanted them done properly. 4 weeks later, they were delivered. Oddly, the box was marked rush. I took them home, hand washed them, ironed them and tried them on. The collar on 1 of the 2 was unwearably tight. The armholes were pulling the fabric because they were too tight. The collars and cuffs were not exactly as specified, but I figured that could be corrected on the next order. We started negotiating on shirt #2 and It was decided that if the seams were let out and the collar was remade, all would be well. I gave him the shirt and was told 2 weeks. 6 weeks later and 3 phone calls later, he dropped the shirt off at work. When I got home, I looked at it. None of the work had been done as promised. The collar button had been moved an inch. That's all that was done. This absolutely doesn't work on a pin collar, because it's still too tight when you put the pin in. I called and left a message that I was disappointed that he hadn't done what was promised. I have not received any return calls in 5 weeks. I had hoped to set up a regular purchase of shirts every couple of months from Keith. Instead, I have a shirt I can't wear, a shirt that is tight, and won't buy any others from him. Any time something is custom made, there will be some issues in the first run. I was prepared for that. No one in business can afford to keep customers if they don't give a reasonable level of service. He will lose my repeat business, and I lose the opportunity to have shirts that really fit properly. Don't bother to buy from him unless you have money to throw away. By the way, the shirts were very well made in the U.S. If we had worked out the fit issues, I'd be buying more right now.

HORRIBLE!! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE…read more The workers and management at Q & Q Cleaners displayed behavior that I experienced as discriminatory, dismissive, and deeply unprofessional. As a person of color in Columbia Heights, DC, a neighborhood built on diversity and a multicultural community, I found the way I was treated both troubling and unacceptable. I brought in two white shirts to be cleaned. They were returned damaged. When I calmly asked what had happened and attempted to resolve the issue, the response was not accountability, an apology, or any attempt to make things right. Instead, management chose to close my account rather than address the problem. Being treated this way raises serious concerns about how customers of color are viewed and handled by this business. Rather than engage in basic customer service, they simply shut the door when questioned. In a neighborhood like Columbia Heights, where businesses benefit directly from a diverse community, this kind of conduct is particularly disturbing. People of color should be aware of how they may be treated here. And frankly, anyone who does not tolerate racism or discriminatory behavior should think twice about supporting this business. Businesses that operate in diverse communities have a responsibility to treat all customers with fairness and respect. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Q & Q Cleaners. A business that responds to legitimate concerns by pushing customers out instead of taking responsibility should not expect the trust or support of the community.
