Vassi Embroidery

Vassi Embroidery is situated at 12284 Rahon Road, which stays pretty busy with trucks and bikes going past all day long. Inside our place, it’s a bit of a different world because of the sound of the embroidery machines. They have this constant rhythm that you eventually stop noticing after a few hours. We have rows of machines that stitch patterns onto different types of fabric. It’s a lot of work to keep the threads from tangling up, so someone is always walking around checking the needles. We have cones of thread in every color you can think of sitting on the shelves. Most of the time, we are busy with large orders that take a few days to finish. The floor is usually covered in little snips of thread and pieces of backing paper. It gets a little cramped when we have a lot of fabric rolls delivered, but we find space. We aren't trying to be some high-end fashion studio. We just take the designs and get them onto the cloth as neatly as we can. Sometimes we stay late when a big order is due, and the Rahon Road traffic finally thins out. It’s just us and the machines and the stacks of finished work ready to go. We like the work because it’s satisfying to see a plain piece of cloth end up with a nice design on it.
