As a young designer in Southern California, working with Extreme was an incredible experience. They we're able to take my tech pack and intricate design details and pragmatically bring them to fruition, despite me having some holes in my understanding of certain parts of the construction and pattern making process. Owning my own pattern has been a game changer to ensure any overseas manufacturing goes seamlessly, and I will definitely be returning to work with them in the future. Brenda and Tatianna we're patient and walked me through everything with care , and any hiccups or miscommunications along the way they we're quickly made right. You'll be in great hands. read more

I paid over $900 to get a pattern and sample done for some boxers. They would not provide ANY measurements. I asked repeatedly for them to send over the measurements for the garment but they refused and told me to deconstruct and measure the sample myself. I assume it would be simple for them to be able to give me measurements for a sample I paid over $900 for but they REFUSED. read more

I needed a local seamstress company to help me with some of my small projects and Extreme Marking and Grading have a amazing team. Love working with them , fast turnaround and great work quality. read more

They are very meticulous and I didn't face any problems here. I've had many people mess up markers before so for me, this place was a relief. Only hard thing is finding parking (the garage guy is so nice he lets you just pull in for 10 mins) but it is hard carrying markers down from the office to the garage if you have a lot of them. Lol. Good Luck! read more

Don't use these guys. Worst pattern maker I have worked with in years. Gave This guy 2 long simple T-shirt dress pattern with specs hand written to follow. With simple half chest measurements 18-20-22-24 which is normal in t-shirts. He graded 2 inches all around. Then argues with me he did it right. Who in the world gives 1/4 sewing allowance on knit tee? I have worked in T-Shirt business for over 30 years but never Seen 1/4 seam allowance all around. Marker was so off this guy did not care about the yield of the fabric. I had a $8000 loss because of this guy. Highly recommend Not to use this guy Abraham. read more

At first these guys were awesome. Fast and affordable. Each time we worked with them we were put on the back burner a little bit longer. This last time we had them make patterns for us they took 3 weeks longer then they had expressed to us. That in itself would have been somewhat acceptable. But my company called, and emailed dozens of times asking what happened to our patterns. We were never called back, or emailed back or given a clear answer about what was happening. Eventually Will told us that they had a larger client that took priority. They also just started to charge their customers $10 per file in order to receive the patterns in a usable format. [They don't tell you this up front]. If you are a small company like ours, find another Patternmaker. If you have enough $$ to keep their focus on you, they'll put out good work in a timely manner. read more

Their service is prompt as well as their response. I am so happy with their service!! read more

Similar to another reviewers experience, we were really pleased at first with these guys! They were willing to work with us to get the markers correct and Jose was a fantastic grader... but... things quickly went down hill. By the time we left, it would sometimes take them DAYS to print out markers for us. Also, we would ask them to make small adjustments like balance the inseam front and back, and somewhere our requests got lost between Willy and Jose and things wouldn't get changed. The final straw was when they printed a marker for a large production for us from a marker we'd used before, and somehow everything was labeled ONE SIZE OFF! We had used that pattern on a marker before so stupidly we produced without measuring it and didn't realize what had happened until we had 600 pairs of shorts all one size up! All of our Smalls were actually Mediums, Mediums were actually larges, etc. Still don't know how they managed that one, but we took our patterns and left. read more

Never any issues or bad feedback. read more
