Stitchin’ Post

I have used this business several times and have been pleased each and every time. I have had pants hemmed, holes patched and most recently had 10 patches sewn to a coat. I have always found the pricing to be quite resasonable. The only thing is they are so busy that their turn around time is two weeks, you can pay more for faster service. My needs did not require faster service since it is not cold enough here for a coat right now. I have plans to use this service quite often in the future.

This is by far the worst altering experience I’ve ever had even though I’ve been here multiple times before and thought they were the best in the KC area.
I took my new dress shirt in to have the sleeves shortened, but when I picked it up the arms were too short. So short that they were taut against my elbow while my arms were to my sides. They took the shirt back to lengthen it slightly as they had left some extra inside and I came back another week later. I tried the shirt on and it was a little better with the additional 0.5 in., but the seems at the cuff were fraying apart with the little fabric holding the seems together. I decided that this would have to do.
I thought it must have been this one time since I’ve taken two pairs of pants a month earlier to get hemmed with no problem.
Hoping to have a better experience a month later, I took in another shirt to have the arms shortened. Same issue occurred even though we were certain to make the sleeves longer than usual. Once again I found myself requesting the shirt to be lengthened as much as they could. I got the shirt back and the stitching was a little more secure, but something seemed wrong. Turns out the buttons on the sleeve plackets were moved when they shortened the sleeves resulting in the button hole and button not aligning (1.5 in. off). Not only that, the buttons on the cuffs were sewed back on with only three rounds and through only two of the four holes on one sleeve.
$ 50 per shirt and an additional $ 30 for the alterations to end up with two shirts that I am not completely happy with.
On an additional note: I thoroughly enjoy dogs, but I do not like picking up my clothes with a whole bunch of dog hair on it. This business needs a thorough cleaning.
