Do yourself a favor, and please consider giving your business/support to an embroidery shop that…read moreisn't going to loose your order, and then lie about it. That's what happened when I took one of my last fleece tie blanket to Pacific Apparel. For the record, I have been taking my homemade blankets there to be embroidered for the last couple of years, and thankfully never had an issue until recently. What happened was, I made my cousin a blanket as a baby shower gift. I had her pick out the pattern, gifted it to her, then offered to have it embroidered with my niece's name on it. She agreed, so I took it to this shop, picked out the font, and was given a pickup date. When I came by the day after said date, they couldn't find my blanket anywhere! They then proceeded to tell me that someone else came to pick it up, which was a complete and utter lie, because not a single friend or family member was aware of the shop I take them to, except my husband. I knew for a fact he didn't pick it up because I never asked him to, and the lady at the shop said that ALLEGEDLY, "A woman came into the shop describing your blanket, so we gave it to her." Which was obviously untrue because all the shop had to do was ask this (fictional) person the name on the order. Plus, a stranger has no use for a baby blanket that has someone else's name on it. The shop apologized and offered to embroider my next blanket for free. Luckily, they ended up finding the blanket about a month later, and could not give me a straight answer as to who supposedly took my blanket. It was painfully clear they just lost it and made up this ludicrous story in an attempt to cover their asses, and then had the audacity to blame me in saying someone I knew must've picked it up. Which again, was impossible since no one other than my husband knew about that shop. Here is the kicker, ha. I bring in my next blanket to take them up in their offer to embroider my next order for free, and the owner has the nerve to haggle with me over an additional 2 inches. Once I finally stood up for myself, and made it clear that is not what was agreed upon when offering complimentary service after loosing my last blanket, the owner turned visibly upset. He angrily took my blanket and said to come pick it up later that day. Since that unfortunate incident, I was ready to continue giving them my business and let bygones be bygones, because hey, shit happens. Until TODAY, when I brought my latest blanket in for embroidery, and THE OWNER STRAIGHT UP REFUSED SERVICE! Even after THEY went through this whole preposterous charade of loosing my blanket and falsely accusing me of having someone else pick up. Just for them to find it later at their shop, and then be upset that I wouldn't pay the difference of 2 inches for my complimentary service thereafter. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY SUPPORTING THIS UNSCRUPULOUS, DECEITFUL, UNPRINCIPLED, SHADY BUSINESS WHICH CLEARLY LACKS ANY FORM OF INTEGRITY!

(I figured it would be faster to iron it on myself than have a vendor do it because many places actually outsource printing which makes it take too long.) I called Candroy and talked through my goal with Brian. While we were on the phone, he asked me to send the images and he confirmed that they could print them directly on a shirt that I provide, but that they do not create iron-ons for people to take away and apply themselves. I was immediately worried about cost. No problem. My t-shirt involved printed font and images that took up most of the space on both the front and the back of the shirt. He said if I could provide the t-shirts that day, he could have them for my in two business days. Brian also suggested I go to Michael's craft store to get the t-shirts which was such a score, because they have good quality t-shirts there for $2.99. I provided the shirts to Brian on Friday afternoon and he had them ready for me on Tuesday! They came out really well and they are now my go-to for all of the products they offer. The price could not be beat with any other vendor I had checked with prior to talking to Brian and they look fantastic - SO much better than I could have done if I had to go the iron-on route. Plus, he's just a really nice guy. Thank you Brian!
