“The unsightly underbelly of the adjustable bed, coupled with all the necessary wires ruined the look of our bedroom every time we walked in. We needed someone with engineering ideas, enormous creativity, and extraordinary skill. After considerable searching throughout the Southeast, we found these traits in abundance with Elizabeth. She spent time studying the mechanism and considered every possible variation. She created a beautiful solution that is absolutely perfect in every way. Elizabeth is a joy to work with – she is a total perfectionist and delivers a flawless product. It was such a happy experience I am looking for other projects to work with A Stitch Above the Rest.”

“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic to work with. She provided curtains and a cornice in four rooms of my home and they came out better than I had imagined. The process from start to finish was easy and enjoyable. Elizabeth helped me pick out the fabric in person and/or by sharing pictures of the fabric in this COVID world! She was always quick to respond and kept me posted on the progress of my curtains. Installation was fast and seamless! I can’t recommend Elizabeth enough!”

“I highly recommend Stitch Above The Rest. I have worked with Elizabeth on two of my homes and both times she exceeded my expectations. When I first contacted this business, it was after 4 separate companies told me they were unable to fix the cornices that had broken in half due to being in the sun for years. Elizabeth was the only person that looked at the large job and tackled it head on. Not only did she fix it but it looked even better than the previous job. So, when I moved into a new home, I called her again to figure out how to make the circle dining room I have, look symmetrical. I was at a total loss at what to do with it. But once again, it turned out unbelievably beautiful! There were five windows, none of which were the same size. I get compliments from everybody that comes over. Elizabeth is a real problem solver, calm and never ever rushed me when I couldn’t decide on a fabric. I will be working with her for a third time soon to finish out the rest of the windows in my home. I deeply appreciate her honesty, hard work and gift she has for creating beautiful window dressings and bedding. I cannot recommend Stitch Above The Rest enough. Thank you, Elizabeth!!”

“Elizabeth Gerdes, Owner of Stitch Above the Rest, LLC, did an amazing job on slipcovers for my antique chairs. The work was custom, very detailed, including a monogram, and gorgeously executed. I searched over a year to find a master sewing house that could handle this job as it was very complicated. Elizabeth not only met the challenge, but delivered a product that is beautiful and elegant … I couldn’t be happier! She is a consummate professional and great to work with! ”

“Elizabeth from Stitch Above The Rest is not only a delight to work with, but she is highly professional. Her attention to detail is amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for someone who cares as much about the outcome of your drapery project as you do yourself! She returned every phone call immediately, was always available to answer my questions and was punctual for every appointment. She and her crew were polite, talented and efficient. Our drapery looks elegant and tailored and I have received many compliments on her work. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and I would give her an even higher rating than five stars if I could!”

“Working with Elizabeth of Stitch Above The Rest was a pleasure. She was very patient with me and was very helpful in the decision making for my Roman shades. They turned out beautiful! Her workmanship is excellent! I would definitely recommend her.”

“Quick shout out with a note of appreciation for a job well done on the flagship No.18 location in Atlanta. The client had extremely high expectations and all were met with your craftsmanship, ability to resource options, flexibility in the schedule and design choices along with driving the installation.  Window treatments are certainly not in my area of expertise so I appreciate your willingness to educate us throughout the process.  If I ever have another need like I did on this project you’ll be the first person I call.”

“We chose Elizabeth because of her excellent reviews. She is a true professional. We were very impressed with her service, responsiveness, and the quality of her work. Our drapery panels are gorgeous. We will be using her talents again in the near future. By the way, her installation team is excellent as well.”

“There are not enough words to describe the great service that Elizabeth provides for my company (Multi-Restaurant Company). Her attention to detail is outstanding, and she always goes above and beyond the call of duty to complete projects in a timely and cost-effective manner. I know I can rely on her eye for design too. I would highly recommend Elizabeth for your window treatments. You will not be disappointed.”

“I’m so VERY pleased with my L-Shaped cushions done by Elizabeth/Stitch Above the Rest, LLC. Actually, the final product turned out so much better than I expected…. Prior to finding Stitch Above the Rest, LLC via a search, I had found someone else and spent a good deal of money for a poor product. It then took me a while before I was ready to start over, but when I saw her site and gallery, I had a feeling this was it…. when I spoke with her and heard her very positive, customer-centric responses, I was relieved and comfortable that I had someone who wanted to deliver a quality product……. She was responsive and timely for the onsite review/measurements and she delivered the cushions earlier than committed. Excellent experience and I will definitely use Stitch Above the Rest, LLC again. I highly recommend them.”

“I discovered “Stitch Above the Rest” by scouring web sites of local businesses (important for me) making custom draperies. When I found Elizabeth’s company, I saw that her portfolio of projects reflected a vast array of styles and use of fabric. I came away with the idea that Elizabeth collaborated with clients and did not overly influence her own personal style. I was right! Elizabeth Gerdes did not disappoint in any aspect of our project! The fabrics, styles and craftsmanship of both draperies and installation are unheralded in today’s market of mass production. Meetings, emails and phone calls were handled in a timely and professional manner. Elizabeth’s eye for detail is evident in every stitch of our beautiful, custom draperies!”

“Elizabeth did a fantastic job creating custom drapery for my living room, dining room, family room, and patio. We could not be more pleased with the results! I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone!”

“Elizabeth, from Stitch Above The Rest, LLC did the window treatments in my breakfast room, great room, dining room and my daughter’s room in my brand new home. She also reupholstered 2 antique chairs for me. She did an outstanding job. The window treatments are beautiful and Elizabeth was so easy to work with. She is a professional who truly knows her job and knows what will work and won’t work in a house. She understood exactly what I wanted and worked to create that look. I could not be more pleased. Great Job!!!”

“Elizabeth from Stitch Above the Rest made roman shades and valances for 11 windows in my basement. She also made six coordinating pillows. I could not be any happier with the finished product. When I first met with Elizabeth, I already had some fabric choices and a basic design for the valances in mind. She was quickly able to add to my ideas and came up with a plan I was very excited about. She was very knowledgeable on what would work and what would not work. Elizabeth was easy to work with and kept me informed along the way. The roman shades she made for me work perfectly and look great. Each one of the eleven shades function exactly the same and the folds and slats line up precisely with each one. Everyone who steps into my basement for the first time immediately says, “Wow!” I know the custom window treatments and pillows really tie everything together. If you want perfectly constructed window coverings and pillows, you are in good hands with Stitch Above the Rest! I will definitely be using Elizabeth again for my next project.”
