SuperStitches

A couple of years ago our professional video production studio needed new 'rags' - theatre curtains - to replace an ancient and tattered background cyclorama. Perusing eBay sellers there was a guy offering approximately but not exactly what we wanted (but at a very good price) so we initiated a dialog to see if something could be made custom for us. The answer was 'Yes' - SuperStitches is a theatrical drapery shop in Youngstown Ohio and a phone call there got the owner on the phone. He (Terry Sheban) seems to be a one-man band making affordable theatrical draperies and I'm glad we found him. Our first order was for a new backdrop about 11' high and 55' wide, made in two pieces. Terry sent samples of the material for approval and then custom made the drapes and shipped them for about half the price of other bids we received. A low price is nice but even better is getting a better deal than you expected. The drapes were perfect as delivered and very affordable. Theatrical drapery is a rather specialized business (we have to deal with fire-$#*!ant or fire resistant materials because of being an 'assembly occupancy') and Super-Stitches knows all the ins and outs of the business. We have subsequently ordered additional curtains and drapes and they've been exactly as specified and the company has been very responsive and we couldn't be happier. The attached photo shows part of the original dark blue studio backdrop and a bit of the Chromakey drape they also made for us.
