Russ and his wife Gabriella are AMAZING! I found them on Google because I was looking for a place to get my diaper bag embroidered with my baby's name and came across their small business. Russ responded to my request on the same day, he was extremely helpful, and when I dropped the bag off, him and his wife were so sweet! I will continue to go to them for all my embroidery needs because of the quality of work and their amazing customer service! read more

Russ was super helpful! Even when there is a job he cannot do, he is amazing and helps by referring me to someone else who can help! Highly recommend this company because clearly they care about their work as well as helping others, not just business. read more

I had recently gotten back into hitting golf balls again after almost a 5 year hiatus. My teenage son showed some interest so I decided to take him to the nearby golf range. On my lucky golf towel that I bought nearly 20 years ago, I had embroidered every family members names on my towel except for him since he was born shortly after I had already bought the towel. So I decided to look around for an embroidery service and to my surprise I found one not too far away from my home. That's how I discovered Russ and Colorful Stitches Embroidery. I sent him an email and he responded shortly after. I took a 10 min. stroll through the neighborhood to meet Russ. When I met Russ, he took me back to see his shop and he shared some samples he created as well as his equipment. I was impressed with his setup and he runs a clean and organized shop. He's a really nice and pleasant guy and when we spoke I felt like I've knew him for a long time. He shared a little about his life, work and also history of our neighborhood, how it was like before until now. It was a pleasant chat indeed! I also found-out that he did work for some folks that I knew of in the past which made even more for a pleasant conversation. We were able to relate to each other in so many ways. In addition to adding my son's name on my towel, I also wanted to have my new golf bag pouch cover personalized with my name as well as the Philippine flag to show my Filipino-American pride which matched perfectly with the existing USA flag that already came with my golf bag. I left my towel and bag cover with Russ and in just 1 week both my items were done. I was so happy and my jaw nearly dropped when I finally got a hold of the finished product. The quality came out top-notched and I walked home with a big smile on my face. Russ's prices are fair and for the quality of work that was performed for me, it was well-earned. Russ accepts cash or venmo as forms of payment. I was more than glad to send him the funds. He guarantees his work and if you have any issues just contact him to have them sorted out. Thanks Russ for fulfilling a task that has been long-overdue by finally adding my son's name on my lucky golf towel and also adding additional touches to my golf bag! Not only have I met a new neighbor but also a new future golfing buddy as well! read more

Working with Russ was a breeze! Clear communication, quick turnaround, and fabulous product. The folks we gifted the embroidered project to absolutely loved it. Highly recommend working with Colorful Stitches Embroidery! Thank you Russ! read more

Colorful Stitches saved me in a pinch. I ordered a robe online that was supposed to be monogrammed, and it arrived...well, not monogrammed! I immediately turned to Yelp for a local option and found Colorful Stitches. Russ and his wife did an absolutely amazing job and I couldn't be more thrilled to be spreading the good news about their business. My timing on the robe was very tight because it was supposed to be a birthday present. Russ was super understanding and was able to accommodate my single piece and accelerated timeline without a problem. Russ is not only a professional, but also a craftsman and artist. His painstaking attention to detail made sure that the robe came out perfectly, probably better than it would have from the website in all honesty. I cannot recommend his services more highly; I am eager to embroider everything I own! read more

Russ is very professional. He made such a great job on embroidering logo on my chef coats. He was very king, helped me about the size, the color, how to be close to my original logo. He sent me lots of messages, even a video of the machine doing the embroidery. He made the job very fast and my logo looks perfect on the coats. I recommend Colorful Stitches to anyone having a personalization to make . Thanks again Russ for your perfect work. If I have more embroidery projects to make, I will come back for sure. read more

Russ is a very responsable person. But not just that, he is very creative at the time to work in something that you need. I do cosplay, and I was needing a logo for my Cobra costume, I was afraid about how much could it cost and where to do it. Russ helped me so much! He is not expensive, he helped me creating the logo, and give me some tips about how to take care of me cloth. I am very happy about his job.

Found Russ thru yelp. It was a nice experience from my first contact. I wanted to personalize a baby car seat for my sister. She loves the SF Giants and her grandniece.

Russ helped me with a batch of company items (20 jackets) pre covid and the price, timeliness, attitude he brought was *chef's kiss* :^) He's even helped with one off gifts for others I brought in - every other embroidery person/business I approached said they couldn't help unless I had a bulk order. Can't wait to come back after this pandemic is over! read more

I was putting together a birthday present for one of my friends, which involved needing to have a vest embroidered with my friend's name and affiliation. Since it was a windbreaker vest used for cycling, it was made of special material--not exactly the easiest to work with. Therefore, I wanted to leave it with someone that I trusted. When I first told Russ about this idea, he took the time to meet with me (i.e. a consult) and explain the options I had that would match up best with the design I wanted. I was very impressed by the breadth of options I had, as well as the fact that he would take time to explain this to me. When I told him that the vest needed to be done within a specific, relatively short time frame, he was extremely accomodating with this request. Overall, he was very courteous and professional, and I would definitely go back for my embroidering needs. Keep up the great work! read more

I was looking for a local place which would embroider our company logo onto some NorthFace jackets we had purchased for our Engineering team to celebrate our latest software release. I went to Yelp and found Russ / Colorful Stitches. This has to be one of my greatest Yelp finds! Russ was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was extremely helpful in advising me what would and wouldn't work for the embroidery design. He sent me a couple of proofs and turned around 16 jackets within a week. He obviously takes pride in his work as the embroidered design have received alot of rave reviews from the team. Russ' prices are also very reasonable. I will definitely be using Russ again for future embroidery work. read more

If it were possible, my puppy would probably give Russ at least 10 paws up for doing such a fantastic job on embroidering "Hacker Dog" on his hoodie! I don't often feel compelled to write a Yelp review, but, Russ was really amazing to work with. He was very helpful and offered some great insight as my husband and I were debating over which font and color to use. To top things off - his workmanship is more than perfect! We'll definitely be back with other things that we'd like to have embroidered by Russ. read more

Russ at Colorful Stitches Embroidery is great. He was really pleasant to work with and finished my project in just a few days. He worked with me on the design and communicated clearly and frequently with me through the process. Russ does this as a part time job out of his house. If you're looking for Embroidery- shoot Russ an email. I was shocked by how affordable it was to have this done. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would!! I found Russ on Yelp and contacted him to embroider my daughters stocking and a tree skirt. He was extremely friendly right off the bat and his responses were very prompt. He definitely overdelivers and under promises!! I dropped off my items late afternoon on a Monday and he told me they'd be ready Saturday evening. 6 hours later I had an email from him saying they were done and asking if I could pick them up the next afternoon!! The work was beautiful and exactly how I wanted!! read more

Now let me preface this by saying that I've been to a couple of embroidery places due to my involvement in organizations that need varying amounts of work done. I have also heard of several organizations through friends of mine who have had embroidery needs. I have started to use Yelp for other needs besides Restaurants and I saw the good reviews for this establishment and thought I'd give the owner a ring. After a consultation I could see that this gentleman took pride in his work. What really sticks out to me is how responsive the owner is to emails and as I mentioned how much pride he takes in his work. The prices are fair and like I said the the owner is nice as can be. Thank you Yelp.com for helping me find Russ, I will recommend him to all my friends that need small to large projects completed. read more

Russ is very professional and dedicated about his work. I have 2 swimming parkas for embroidery. He treated them as if they are million dollars business. He emailed me several times to suggest different fonts and styles. And once we decided what to do, he finished in just one night. His high Yelp rating almost looks unreal. Until I went there to check it myself. He definitely deserves the 5 stars. Both my daughter and her friend love their swimming parkas. read more

Russ is EXTREMELY kind and you can tell he cares about his every detail of work. Found him via Yelp and his pricing is great!!! Although I wasn't able to work with him (my turnaround needed was too soon) he was able to point me to others for my needs ...which as we all know, generally businesses don't do this for each other! I know I'll return to Russ in the future and can't wait. PS; he's text-friendly too! read more

Russ and his wife were both amazing. I emailed them regarding an order i wanted to place and they answered right away. They also sent me pictures and videos of the entire work that was being done. They're amazing to work with, super friendly and they were able to give me the polos back within a couple of days. read more

Russ is the man!!! He embroidered seven beach towels for us. We gave the towels as gifts to our wedding party, and they were a huge hit. He gave us a great price and finished the towels quickly. The quality was outstanding. We highly recommend Russ. Again, Russ is the man! read more

Colorful Stitches Embroidery - Great work by Russ! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Mountain View, California

I had a very small baby blanket (Taggies) that I wanted to have embroidered and found Russ on Yelp. I contacted Russ via email and he responded quickly to my inquires instantly, and set up a time for me to stop by and drop off the blanket. Russ is such an easy going person. He took the time to show me and suggested ideas for thread colors, font style, and positioning of the embroidery, which really helps with my decision making. The blanket was done the next day, even though I mentioned that I need it by the following week. His price is so much reasonable then most places I've checked and his work is exceptional. I will definitely go back to him again for any embroidery in the future. read more

I came up with an idea of a personalized gift for a friend with some embroidery so I contacted Russ.

Like everyone else, I started looking into yelp for a small little embroidery project. He already has 11 5-stars from everyone here. So, I went to Russ with a lot of confidence. He didn't disappoint! First, he gave me ideas on the font to use, then, ask me to schedule a time with him. He showed me patiently how the embroidery would look like, and we discussed what needed to be done. The price was right and the job was excellent. I am happy that I went to him. Yes, 5 star from me! read more

Wasn't able to get my rush order of 13 hats in a week, so referred me to another great option. I really appreciate the honesty and responsiveness! Will seek first again if another embroidery job comes up. read more

I saw Russ on Thursday to get 2 bags embroidered. When I saw Russ he gave me a VERY VERY reasonable quote and said my bags might be done by Tuesday. Boy was he wrong!!! He gave me a call 2 days later on Saturday and said my bags were done!!! Instead of a reasonable 5 days he did them in a SUPER FAST 2 days!!! Probably wouldn't be done so quick if he was extremely busy but had a light work load this week. VERY GRATEFUL for SUPER FAST SERVICE!!! I don't think I can go anywhere else now!!! Russ is AWESOME!!! He does digitizing and embroidery on site and AWESOME JOB!!! Kewl trophy too!!! EXTREMELY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Called Russ after finding him on Yelp to do some sports bags that were a Christmas gift and was very pleased. Great suggestions, excellent communication, fast work and amazing prices. He can send photos of what the job will look like completed before he starts to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. He does work full time, so be sure and give him a day or two to get back to you as this is a part time after work thing for him. So glad I found him! read more

Recommended by a friend, I am extremely happy with the way our Christmas stockings turned out! With it being the holiday season we were finding it difficult to meet up so I could pick them up. He offered to meet me half-way- a fantastic solution! I was extremely grateful! read more

Russ did a top-notch job on my custom embroidery project. He was on-time, flexible, and paid attention to details that make the difference between a good product and an excellent product. He was able to give me a good cost estimate based on photos and a description I sent via email. He's really nice to work with and takes much pride in his work. This results in great results and happy customers. read more

Simple review: 5 Stars, unconditional approval. Perfect job. Will absolutely come to Russ again.

Russ truly enjoys his work, and you can tell from the minute you meet him. He definitely took the time to understand my project and we probably spent an hour finding the right script and positioning for the robe I was having embroidered for my friend's bridal shower. All in all, he was a joy to work with and really takes care in every project he works on. read more

Russ is awesome! I have asked for embroidery on two different projects and both times he exceeded my expectations in quality and timeliness! I highly recommend Colorful Stitches for embroidery at an affordable price. read more

Russ does excellent work and is a great choice especially if you have a smaller job. He's easy to work with and will explain the process if you're new to it.

This review is way overdue...Russ is one of the most kindest, friendliest, patient, and honest business owners I've ever worked with. I was looking to get some polo shirts embroidered as I myself had started my own business and wanted something that had my logo on it. After so much research and comparing between local businesses vs. online giants, I decided to contact Colorful Stitches Embroidery to see if they'd be able to work with me. And that is exactly was Russ did. He worked with me through the whole process, letting me know what would work and what wouldn't. He came up with ideas and presented them to me and we were able to agree on a design that was suitable for my polo shirts. His pricing was also very reasonable unlike those found online (if you've done your research, you know what I'm talking about). Russ' attention to detail is apparent from the layout graphics to the embroidery on the shirts. The polos came out great and I'm glad I was able to find Russ and Colorful Stitches Embroidery. I'm looking to get more items (jackets and hoodies) embroidered in the super near future. If you're looking to get some custom embroidery work done, support a local business and look no further than Russ and Colorful Stitches Embroidery! read more

He guided me through the entire process and even suggested the font that I should use for my stockings. I really enjoyed working with Russ and I would totally recommend his services, and I will definitely go back to him again for any future embroidery projects! Plus, I found his pricing to be quite reasonable! read more
