About
Us
Purdy
Stitches.com is
the outgrowth of our retail shop - The
Monogram Shoppe
located in Anderson, SC. We
have been in
business since 1984. Peggy Purdy (that’s me) and Nellie Brown
(my
Mom) are the owners of the current shop operating 4 embroidery heads.
Combined we have over 46 years of embroidery experience.
We
can embroider many different items – shirts, jackets, caps,
baby
items, bags, linens, towels, pillow shams, handkerchiefs, shower
curtains, etc. Personalization is our specialty. We have
embroidered thousands of custom monograms on many items over the
years. Custom logos can be created by digitizing your design then
embroidering it on garments of your choice to enhance your business.
Interior decorators make use our services to create one-of-a-kind
items for their clients. Let us work with you to create your custom
look also, whether it is for your home, bedroom, baby’s room
or
business.
How
We Began
Nellie
Brown, my Mom, began embroidering my clothes “free
handed” on a
custom built Pfaff sewing machine when I was in junior high school.
Friends starting asking about the beautiful monograms on my sweaters
and I would reply, “My mom did it!” Before she
realized it Mom
had a very busy second job. She retired from doing the custom
monogramming after I finished my college education.
I
earned a master’s degree in music education while teaching
music in
Anderson School District #3. After having two children, I knew it was
time for a change. “Mom can I borrow your monogram
machine?” Now she knew how much practice it would take before
I would gain
enough skill to do monogramming for the public free handed, but she
didn’t discourage me. Instead she did some research and found
an
automatic machine which was still rather new technology. A single
head Melco machine was purchased and a part-time endeavor for me was
born. My purpose was to earn some “extra Christmas spending
money”
that year (1984). Before long I realized that this would not be
just part-time, but a full-time job.
With
Jamie (my daughter) married and Chris (my son) graduated from
college, Tommy, (my husband), Nellie & I decided we were ready
for the next step – a website. That’s how PurdyStitches.com
was born!
Welcome! We sincerely hope you

something very pretty, very special and personalized which says
“I
took that extra step to give you a special gift - just for

Origin
of our Name
The
name PurdyStitches.com
has special meaning for us. My name happens to be Peggy
Purdy. Ever
since I married my husband Tommy I’ve had lots of fun with my
name. As a music teacher in public schools I heard so many times
“I know
why your name is Mrs. Purdy – because you’re pretty.”
What a nice
compliment (even after 8+ years of hearing sweet 1st
graders “discover” my name). When we decided to
take the plunge
and develop a website we wanted to be a bit more creative with a
name. After much research we chose PurdyStitches.com. We believe it is just perfect.
We can
provide you with very many pretty
things!!! We hope you like our name and remember it!
