I start explaining what I want and he asks me if I am Mikey. I told him no, my name is not Mike, he says yes I am I am just talking with a fake accent. I was a little shocked, again I explain what I want and again he calls me Mikey. Again I explained to him, I am calling from a cell and I am sure he can see my name on the caller ID, he is mistaking me for someone. So he finally says that I am calling on behalf of Mikey. He finally tells me to hold, some lady picks up the phone. I explain to her the stitch work I am looking for, she says she doesn't do it and hangs up. I am not even sure where to begin, i am not sure how they stay in business.

I've gone to these guys on several occasions for projects that require very short turnaround and…read morethey have always come through for me. More often than not my orders begin with me walking into Mike's office and saying "I know this is really short notice, but can we do it?" Most recently I was tasked with outfitting approximately 25 employees with customized uniforms, including embroidery, heat press and patches. The deadline I had to work with was very short notice. I explained the situation to Mike and he got me a quote within 24hrs. When he identified issues, such as hard to find sizes or back ordered items, he worked closely with me to identify and implement solutions. When my deadline was shortened due to contractual obligations, Mike began heat pressing shirts himself to help me make my new, even shorter deadline. Through the entire process on multiple occasions, and multiple orders, Mike has helped me accomplish tasks that seemed impossible at first. I will be certainly be doing more business with On The Job in the future and can, without hesitation, recommend them to anyone. Thanks Mike and Team for all of your hard work!

Uptown made it happen by her deadline. The Uptown embroidery shop-Louis, and his assistant (who sits at the front desk) , were very patient and helpful and came through! Bag looks great and recipient was happy. What was most surprising was that they seemed give me the same attentive service as their high volume clients. Most places do not want to do just one item, but Uptown understands that if you're happy with one item, that you're coming back for future orders, and I will be back. If you're in need of screen printing, embroidery or any type of promo swag, with a reasonable turnaround (they also have an eye for design), don't hesitate. They ship everywhere- including New York City Metro area.

It's a real community spot. The yarn selection ranges from standard go-tos like Berroco and Plymouth, to lovely stuff from Malabrigo and Juniper Moon Farm, to indie hand-dyes. The trend seems to be toward fashion colors and styles. I'm not exactly a fashionista myself, and I still find it easy to leave with creative choices. Especially because everyone there has been so willing to help me discover something I can't wait to knit or crochet up. Right now it's a super yummy pima cotton dk yarn I'm using for a shawl, and next up I have a cozy soft 100% recycled yarn for a cardigan. (And while prices at some LYSs can get scary sometimes, they seem to have really reasonable pricing.) PS: Parking in Union can be tough, but if the adjacent smaller lots are full, there's also a big municipal lot behind the Dollar Tree. (You can walk through for a shortcut! Buy yourself a soda!)
