About Us
Our Story
After living and working in NYC as a clothing designer since graduating from FIT in 1993, marriage and a newborn brought our family to Port Washington, NY in 2008. Falling in love with the local community, I took a leap of faith and opened Initial Stop in a tiny brick and mortar shop on lower Main Street in 2012 with one industrial machine. Over these 8 years the shop expanded and outgrew that cherished space. We now have 4 multi head Melco machines and are online and social media based. I love the creativity and everything about the computer graphics involved - everyday is a new opportunity to custom create thoughful, personalized gifts and help logos come to life through thread art.
We are working on creating a new shopping cart website to launch Fall 2020...check out our newest items and designs on Facebook and Instagram @Initialstop
