    Wow!! Sherry and her team at Turtleworks TOTALLY came through for us!! I needed to get 12 kids aprons embroidered in only about two or three days. I found turtleworks on yelp, and with all the wonderful reviews trusted them completely. I reached out to Sherry and we discussed what I needed. I had enough confidence in her that I just bought and shipped the aprons from Amazon and knew we'd figure out the rest. We found a wonderful design on Etsy that Sherry downloaded and did. The aprons turned out absolutely marvelous! The kids totally loved them.

    I highly recommend Turtleworks for your embroidery needs! I got my scrubs tops embroidered here. The owner of the business, Sherry, is very sweet and friendly. She takes care to ensure that all of your preferences are addressed. She showed me different options of fonts, sizes, and thread color. The turnaround time was quick (approximately one week). The pricing is very affordable compared to other embroidery shops in the area! I got quotes from multiple business and this was the best deal. The location can be a little difficult to find. It is inside of the building to the right of the optometrist's office. Sherry also has a wonderful mission of uplifting individuals with special needs. I am happy to support her small business.

    Best customer experience, ever! I was looking for a place that would take a single embroidery order and they were the only place I found that didn't over charge for a simple name embroider. What I didn't expect was the hospitality and care that I received when I came into their office to drop off my blanket. Sherry helped pick the font and made sure it matched the color wanted. They even left an impression on my 4 year old who had a fun experience while we were there. They also have a beautiful mission that helps employ individuals with special needs that inspires and builds their skills in the workplace. I love it! Please consider Turtleworks, they manage a good business making quality product and have great service

    Large 12" logo on back of jacket

    I was looking for an embroider for a custom design logo I wanted embroidered on a batch of windbreakers jackets. I only had a sample windbreaker but did not have the actual image set up. I looked at all the high rated Yelp-reviewed embroidery shops but settled on Turtleworks based on reviews. After meeting with Sherry in person and explaining what I wanted done, Sherry took the time to explain to me what the process would be since I did not have a design image for her to work off of. I noticed that Turtleworks was very clean inside, tidy, and organized. I appreciated Sherry's calm and professional demeanor. Sherry was able to do the design image set up for me and ran a sample for me to examine. We decided to change the thread colors slightly that highlighted the design better. After I approved the change in thread colors Sherry ran my batch of jackets. She explained she only did one at a time, not running all of them simultaneously on all the machines as I assumed. Sherry took the time to explain that sometimes the material can shift during the embroidering process. My batch of jackets came out significantly better than my original (NOS) jacket's logo. The colors are more vibrant and the stitching is noticeably tighter than mine, lending to more detail in the design. The logo on the back of the jacket is ~ 12" wide so the thread count was high. I felt Sherry's pricing was very reasonable, especially her having to set aside time to create my image set up. If I could rate Turtleworks with 6 stars I would.

    Finished graduation stole - she embroidered my name

    I WISH I COULD GIVE SHERRY 10000 STARS. If you need anything embroidered, by someone who is quick kind and caring Sherry is your woman. I contacted Sherry and she got back to me in just a few hours, I only gave her just days turn around to embroider my stole last minute. Not only did she agree to do it so fast, for such an important affordable price but she finished it within less than 24 hours. Upon arrival to Sherry's studio, she took the time to individually ask me all the details that I wanted and take me to the computer where she showed me exactly how everything would look, I was able to choose specific fonts look at sizing change anything I needed to and double check spelling. After designing on the computer she printed out the design and placed it on the stool to make sure that it looks perfect. After that we looked at the thread colors together and compare them to find the perfect one to match what was already embroidered on my stole. Sherry is kind, patient, organized, extremely Covid safe and most of all she cares about your event and making it special through her gift of embroidery. A final reason that this is an important business to support is that Sherry dedicates her time to giving back to youth with special needs. Every summer Sherry partners with the local high school district and a allows youth with special needs to receive free training in the embroidery business. This includes the computer work, communicating with customers, the embroidery itself and everything in between. Sherry believes that she can use her business as a platform to provide awareness and job opportunities for youth with disabilities as a transition from high school into the workforce. She recognizes that youth with disabilities are often under represented, marginalized, and left without any life skills opportunities after high school. Sherry has upheld her business during this pandemic and also managed to give back in such a big way. Supporting this business will not only guarantee you satisfaction with any item you have embroidered but it will allow you to be a part of a bigger cause. At Sherry's office she had multiple different projects going on, she was embroidering hats for a Boba shop she was embroidering bags and everything in between. Clearly, there's nothing Sherry can't do or accomplish what does that be a large group order or an individual rushed order like mine. Thank you Sherry for your kindness and your expertise.

    Can you embroider a name on a teddy bear?

    Hi Shelly, It is depended on the teddy bear. If the teddy bear has a zipper and can open inside, we may be able to embroider it.

    Do you do embroidery on Leather?

    We did some leather garments. It depends on the garments and embroidery location. You can bring it in to the shop or take a picture to show us.

    I was recommended Cam by a friend who had previously used his embroidery services, and I was really…read moreimpressed with the quality of his work. When it came time to order graduation stoles, I knew exactly who to go to. I needed 12 graduation stoles embroidered, each with different wording. Although his shop is small and tucked away off the side of the road, don't let that fool you. Cam is incredibly genuine, detail-oriented, and takes pride in his work. He asked plenty of questions to make sure he fully understood what I wanted and even created a quick mock-up when I dropped off the stoles so we could visualize the final product. During the embroidery process, he also called to confirm the wording and placement one last time to ensure everything came out exactly as I envisioned. His turnaround time was quick, and he called as soon as everything was ready for pickup. I would recommend bringing your stoles to him as early as possible during graduation season since he has many orders to complete. I paid half upfront when dropping off the stoles and the remaining balance when I picked them up. The embroidery only costed me between $12-20 per stole depending on what was embroidered. The embroidery itself was excellent. The stitching was clean, professional, and didn't warp or distort the fabric at all. Even the backing was trimmed neatly, so it wasn't uncomfortable to wear. Overall, I highly recommend Cam's embroidery services, especially for graduation stoles. He's located just a couple of miles from the SJSU campus, making him a convenient option for students looking for high-quality custom stoles at about a fraction of the price of what the university charges.

I was connected right away to their executive assistant, Roberta and immediately set a time for that same day. I went and helped with the design Two sweatshirts embroidered in less than 30 minutes.

Roberta was very patient going back and forth giving me quotes and options and waiting for me to get back to her with board approval. Then once that was finally approved I realized I'd over committed myself to making shirts my son and his cousin came up with for Father's Day and there was no way I could make them myself as Father's Day crept closer. So super last minute I called Roberta to see if she could do those too and figured while I was at it I might as well also have her make some shirts for my baby with my family's business logo on it. Pricing was very reasonable and she got all of my custom shirts to me within a week and they look fantastic. Can't wait to see how our school shirts come out! Based on how great my custom ones already came out, I'm confident they will look great.

The day before I was supposed to pick it up, they called me and told me they had "lost" my stole. Instead of taking accountability, they told me to go buy another stole myself and that they would embroider the replacement "on the spot." I ended up taking time off work trying to deal with this mess, and to make things worse, I could barely even get ahold of the store while trying to figure out what was going on. When I asked if they could at least reimburse me for losing my stole, they told me they couldn't because they were "no longer making a profit" off my order. There was little to no apology, no urgency, and absolutely no professionalism. Then after all the back and forth, they suddenly "found" my stole and told me to come pick it up at 5:30. It became pretty obvious that they never actually lost it -- they just lied about it to buy themselves more time. This was one of the most stressful customer service experiences I've had, especially considering this was for a major life event. Really shitty service. I would not recommend trusting them with anything important or time-sensitive.
