In-progress alteration on the tailoring bench at Mega Cleaners

From a neighbor

“I would defy anyone to tell where the alteration was made.”

“I cautiously took a heirloom bedspread to Mega Cleaners 4 years ago. It was cleaned, and with the exact measurements returned to me. Two days ago I took it back to them for cleaning with the exact same good results. In between times I took a thick fleece shirt to have the cuffed sleeves shortened and I would defy anyone to tell where the alteration was made.”
Carol H., Yelp, 2024
