One-off embroidery around Boston

September 24, 2007 10:02 AM

I need to get three words embroidered in black on one shirt breast pocket. Is there anyone in the Boston area who will do this for me, preferably for next to nothing?

Response by poster: Oh, BTW, this is a shirt I already own, which might complicate the situation with some embroiderers.

Best answer: try the Galleria Mall in Cambridge. I was in the Burlington Mall on Sunday, and they have a kiosk where you can get anything embroidered.

I had a hat done at the one in the Burlington Mall. They'll do your shirt without having to buy one from them. I don't recall the exact cost, but it wasn't very much.

Response by poster: I had seen those kiosks before, but I always assumed they were 1) expensive and 2) forced you to buy an expensive hat or shirt from them. I'll have to swing by CambridgeSide Galleria to see if they'll do it as you describe.

There used to be one of those kiosks in the central atrium at the Prudential Center [Customer Service Desk -- 617.236.3100]. Don't know if it's still there.
