I called, texted twice and received no answer. I cannot put a review based on the substance and quality of her work but in terms of customer service and attentiveness to communicating with the customer, I cannot give it more than two stars. It would be one star but at least they had a phone number to text and the hours clearly displayed on the website and on yelp. However, I would have appreciated a text saying hey sorry we are booked or sorry we cannot take any more orders. Wish I could provide a review on their selection and value of the work but unfortunately, 2/5. read more

Barbara was accommodating and gave her full attention to my small project to embroider a baptismal gown. Thank you, Barbara!

Barbara's Embroidery is absolutely the best. While her pricing was a bit higher than some other shops I contacted, the quality of the work more than justified the cost. She communicates clearly, delivers on time, and is flexible and easy to work with. Most importantly, her attention to detail really made my brand stand out. It's clear that she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in the final product. Well worth both the drive and the price. She's my embroider-er for life! read more

Wow, Barbara is amazing! I had an embroidery request and she was kind, fast to respond, and fast to deliver -- and the product was beautiful, exactly what I was looking for. Would definitely recommend for your embroidery needs!! read more

Barbara does a great job out of her workshop and I'm very happy with the jackets we made. I'll go to her for future projects.

I heard of Barbara from Yelp and I needed to get some Greek letters fixed. She was very friendly and did exactly what I requested. The only reason why I'm giving her a 4 star is because of the time it takes for her to get the embroidery done. For bigger projects (such as requesting to embroider 4 inch Greek Letters on a jacket) it will take a few weeks/ months. However, when I went in just to add a few items on my a line jacket, like a name, she was able to do it on the spot. Her prices are also very reasonable and she is very open to giving advice if there is something she can't help me with. I HIGHLY recommend her! =D read more

Barbara's Embroidery - I needed to get the Phi fixed. It totally made a HUGE difference! It looks much more complete! I am VERY satisfied! =D - Embroidery & Crochet Near Me - San Francisco, California

Barbara is awesome! She was super responsive, easy to work with, and delivered ahead of schedule. Payment, pickup, etc. were 100% smooth. Would definitely work with her again for future needs!!! read more

If I could give this shop 20 stars I would! Better late then never, this review is coming in about a year after Barbara saved the day and made my dreams come true. After an embroidery shop bailed on my order, she took my order last minute for 8 custom embroidered names on jean jackets (for bridesmaid gifts/wedding photos) and literally turned it around in 1 day! She was absolutely sweet, made labeling and handing the jackets off laughably easy, and texted me to let me know the items were done. I'm literally going to find some more embroidery needs so I can see her again. read more

Such a lovely local business. I needed to get a present embroidered for Christmas. Barbara was so kind and turned it around for me despite being very busy with the holidays, and it looked absolutely lovely. Thank you!! read more

Barbara was wonderful to work with. She was responsive, on time and went above and beyond. I recently asked Barbara for her service to help me match a font embroidery on a Christmas stocking. I originally bought embroidered stockings years back for the fam, but bought an extra stocking without any embroidery, in case we welcome another member. Well, we recently welcomed a new member to our family. The original manufacturer no longer offered embroidery services, but I'm so glad I found Barbara. I wasn't expecting the same font, but Barbara worked her magic and matched the exact same font. Personally, I think her font & choice of thread looks way better. Highly recommend! read more

Barbara is the sweetest! She does an amazing job, communicative and just so easy to work with. I'll use her again and again!

If you need custom embroidery, call Barbara. For my nephew's Eagle Scout ceremony, I wanted to find just the right merit badge gift for him. I looked online and couldn't find anything I liked, but I did find these great reviews about Barbara, so I hit up my husband to design a custom badge. He's a bit sassier than I am, so it took us a little while to decide on "Eagle Bad Ass" - which really is perfect for an 18-year-old boy. I reached out to Barbara and she did a beautiful job (see image above). Her shop was easy to get to, and I was thrilled she was able to turn it around in a week. Very affordable, too. Her stellar reviews are right on, and I would definitely recommend her. read more

Barbara's Embroidery - custom merit badge. yay! - Embroidery & Crochet Near Me - San Francisco, California

Barbara runs a charming business. She embroidered my family's Christmas stockings many years ago, and I couldn't love them any more!!

Barbara is extremely easy to work with, and very patient! I can tell that customer satisfaction is VERY important to her, and that she holds her own work to a very high standard. At first, I was a little nervous about the end product, but the scarves that I had her embroider for me turned out much, much better than I expected - and at a much lower cost too! Her hours are a little erratic, but trust me, it is worth working around her schedule. read more

Barbara helped me with a last minute embroidering on a blanket for a wedding present. The 5 star reviews were very accurate! She was very helpful, quick, and communicative. End product looks great and I appreciated her suggestions on sizing, font, etc. Would definitely recommend for embroidery. read more

She is amazing! I have been going to her ever since I joined Greek life. She does exactly how you envision the pieces. I've brought her towels, sweaters, blankets and clothing and she is able to perfect it all! I was nervous the items I brought to her weren't gonna finish on time but she did them super quickly and worked with my schedule. Her times on yelp are short but if you reach out to her, she's very understanding and will try her best to accommodate the times. read more

Barbara's Embroidery - The lettering, heart & bow :) - Embroidery & Crochet Near Me - San Francisco, California

My friends recommended me to go to Barbara's embroidery and I went to their shop which was in their garage FYI! I didn't know that and was lost for a short period of time. We ran across a problem when my order was misplaced, but Barbara made sure I received my order in time for the event I was attending! In addition, she gave me a discount for the trouble. Overall, because of the great customer service and embroidery, I will definitely be ordering from Barbara again! read more

Would ABSOLUTELY return to Barbara!! I had 2 bathrobes that I needed embroidered as gifts. I struggled to find an embroiderer who would do just two items, until I found Barbara. Her response with pricing and availability was so prompt, and when I got to the shop, she included me in the process and helped me design exactly what I needed! The gifts turned out perfectly and I was so happy. Turnaround was quick and left me wanting to randomly embroider more things just for fun! read more

I've been to Barbara twice for embroidery and she doesn't disappoint! Although her prices are a little high, it's worth it for the quality work that she does. She was really helpful when helping me choose colors and fonts and she finishes her orders in a reasonable amount of time. I'll be back for sure for any of my embroidery needs! read more

Barbara embroidered sneakers and bow ties for my 7 groomsmen for my wedding in February. She did an amazing job getting the design exactly how I imagined it and completing the work in a very short amount of time. She helped me personalize my groomsmen gifts and make the vision for my gifts (something unique and personal) come to life. Barbara was awesome to work with from start to finish. Her workshop is very cool. I am already thinking of new things to be embroidered because of how she can basically do anything with her service.

Jon is super rad and very professional! Felt a amazing vibe from the start! Had him custom embroider 12 beanies for my small clothing company! They came out perfect!!! I look forward to working with this amazing embroidery shop again! read more

I had two vests embroidered. First our corporate logo had to be digitized. Good service. Good attention to detail. Turnaround was quick - much faster than I thought from having read her website, which talked of two-week turnarounds. Barbara did our vests in three days. She texted a photo of the sample first, we made a few changes, then she did the embroidery 'for real.' Paid her by PayPal, and sent Task Rabbit to go pickup. Gotta' love good work and the digital economy. read more

Barbara was good communicating & altho the turnaround was longer than expected, she finished as quoted. I realized she was a one-woman production so that's why it took two weeks. She saves the digital design for future use and was very affordable. Great quality work & eye for the arts. Support small biz!! read more

I was looking for a quick and easy way to have my son's new Easton baseball backpack embroidered with his name - and I found that at Barbara's Custom Embroidery. A quick Google search for "custom embroidery" led me to the Yelp reviews for Barbara. Based on the reviews I called Barbara who simply told me to come on down between 11am-3pm to her home-based (garage) business. I arrived at 11:30 (parking is fairly easy around her place) and Barbara couldn't have been more nice or helpful. She showed me many different fonts to choose from on her Mac, and then after I selected, she programmed her embroidery machine and voila - in minutes I had exactly what I was looking for. In my opinion the cost was very very reasonable. I highly recommend doing business with Barbara. I could tell from the samples in her work area, that many local police departments, fire departments, and youth sports teams already do. read more

Can't recommend Barbara enough! Not only was her embroidery incredibly high quality, she was a pleasure to work with. I needed two jackets (Patagonia & Carhartt) embroidered with my name, and she was able to do so right in front of my eyes! Communication was a breeze; Barbara is extremely responsive and reliable. Thank you so much Barbara! Will be coming back for all my embroidery needs. read more

Barbara is AMAZING. She took my last minute order after another company messed up. She turned it around quickly and was SO NICE and gracious about it. If I could rate her 10 stars I would. I wish I had more things to embroider, just so I could work with her again. read more

Scenario: 1 week before graduating with no sash due to ordering mix up. Sequence of events: Decided to make my own Purchase material Found Barbara Took it to her About 2 hours later it was done Took to seamstress and had it sewn Thanks to Barbara, I had a sash (with my name, major, honors, etc.) to graduate with. She did an amazing job in no time at all. She's very friendly and strives to give you exactly what you asked for. read more

I just called Barbara - today, Friday at 4:00. I asked about doing some shirts for us, here is the kicker... by Monday. She asked for the graphics and said, lets just assume we can do this! I'm extremely happy with the service and willingness to make a customer happy. read more

This is a business that needs to advertise more! If it hadn't been for a YELP search, I would never have known about Barbara's Custom Embroidery. I asked her to personalize some aprons for friends of mine who are adopting their 11 year old foster child! They love to cook together and I had their names embroidered on the aprons. They came out great. Barbara gave me hundreds of choices of fonts and color. She is a sweet person and works very fast. I had the aprons in 2 days. It would have been sooner but I couldn't get there! read more

Barbara is awesomeeee! She's a pleasure to work with and is super patient. I've been coming to her for the last 3 years throughout my college greek life. She lets you customize fonts and sizes on her computer so that everything is just perfect for what you want. Absolute sweetheart and she gets embroidery done so fast! Only problem for me was always having to call her first to see if she's in and when she's in, since she sets her own hours. But she's very flexible. Just a warning, call before you drop by just to confirm she's there. read more

My experience with Barbara's Custom Embroidery was one of the most pleasing and error-free vendor experiences I've ever had. Barbara was polite, cheerful, helpful and upbeat as she took the virtual and actual handoffs of artwork and apparel. The results were beyond my original expectations, and I could not have been more pleased with the outcome. My team looks top-notch in their newly embroidered gear, and the difference in our presentation to customers is like night-and-day. Like I said, this was the best vendor experience I've ever had. Barbara is a small business owner like I am, and she is an absolute delight to work with -- she has my unreserved recommendation. read more

I was lost about seeking a person for embroidery. I saw the great reviews here and decided to have Barbara embroider my gift set. Although she works from the garage of her own home. I must say I was very impressed with the equipment and machinery that she had there. It was a very professional setup. She was able to help me get what I wanted and really took the time to help me design the embroidery for my gift set. I saw some of the other work that she has done for local business and sports teams, and it looked great! She also did my embroidery in a timely fashion. My little project was turned back around to me in about an hour. I would recommend Barbara for your next embroidery job! read more

Loved working with these guys, they did a great job. Friendly, professional, no problems at all. Solid work on time with a reasonable price tag. Fun shop to visit too. read more

I needed to bring my samples to show Barbara if she could to the stitch I want. It is not what she normally does, but she was kind enough to program and try it out on her machine! She was very straight forward and helpful. I may not be able to use her service for this project, but if I need embroidery work, I would def. go to her. I saw quite a few samples of her work there and I can see she does quality work. read more

Barbara is THEBOMB.COM!!! I called her on Monday to see if she could embroider my son's name onto his school sweaters (he's starting Kindergarten) , and she told me to come by on Thursday. Can't ask for a more speedier service than that...she finished within 20 minutes. She was super nice and very friendly. She showed me different fonts and sizes, and was just all around very helpful. I definitely reccommend everyone to come to Barbara for all of your custom embroidery needs. read more

Barbara is great. I've ordered a couple of times from her and she always comes through on the orders, regardless of size. Her costs are also incredibly reasonable. More than anything though, she's very easy going. I'd order from again or recommend her to anyone who needs embroidery on the fly! Thanks Barbara!!! -Monica read more

Professional, thoughtful work in a small business shop! I sent 20 different styles of items to Barbara for embroidery of my organization's logos, and she carefully made proofs, and created really nice looking results on a variety of different materials. Barbara is easy to communicate with, very thoughtful, and the end result was all that I could have hoped. And now she has our logos ready to use in the future... which is a lovely offering. Would definitely recommend this shop if you would like well-done embroidery. read more

My second year anniversary was coming up, and I had no idea what to do for "cotton" (as the traditional gift), so I decided on some new sheets with an embroidered message on them. Barbara came through, kept me calm since I was rushing last minute and did all the work extremely fast for a reasonable price. I wish I did more of this stuff so I could use Barbara more often!! read more

I was looking for someone to do embroidery on a piece of my Moms wedding dress so I could have it sewn onto my wedding dress as my something old and something blue. Not only did Barbara do an amazing job and got this done so quickly, but she so kind and sweet! This was one of my favorites parts of my special day! read more
