Instead of paying hundreds for keepsake boxes, I bought plain chests and the team at Tex Threads was awesome allowing me to pick fonts and designs for embroidery. Thank you, Tex Threads!!

Unprofessional and rude when trying to make adjustments to order/product. Pricing is absolutely wild, 180 for a single item is insane.

We love working with Tex Threads. They have helped make our school bags, shirts, sweaters and our employees polos. The ordering process is easy and whenever we need to restock it done in a timely manner. We are always happy with their work.

This feedback refers to an initial inquiry, as you did not place an order. The pricing provided simply reflected the extensive custom changes and detailed requests you asked for during our messages.

Joseph and the team at Tex Threads had done a phenomenal job with my big order for my daughter’s sorority event. From the beginning till pickup, the customer service and communication rather on the phone, email, or in person was A+. He explained and walked us through on what to do and how the whole process goes. Joseph, my daughter said thank you and that she loves how everything turned out from the t-shirts, sweaters, hoodies, and especially the duffel bag is a big hit with her group. She said there’s a possibility of more orders soon. So thank you Joseph and Tex Threads team and looking forward to working with you all again. God bless!

Overall, I wanted functional and professional shirts (wicking, fitted, women’s style); the staff (especially Patricia) was incredibly helpful in guiding me toward the right shirts, saving me time. PROCESS: The logo digitizing and embroidery process was smooth and thorough. They included edits, took my feedback seriously, and made sure I signed off on the final design. I really appreciated how hands-on and communicative they were. Also, the turnaround time was quick. STURDY: Now, months later the shirts have absolutely held up. After regular work wear and washing, the logos are still vibrant and the shirts look just as good as day one. QUILITY: At first, it seemed like the fees would add up, but looking back, it was absolutely worth every penny. I was taken care of (a valued customer!) and ended up with high-quality, professional items that perform well and last. Theyre comfy and soft- priorities! RECOMMEND: I would definitely go back—and know the quality, service, and final product are all top-notch.
