Why customers come back
Fitting before we finish
For bigger alterations, you try it on with pins before we sew. That way the fit is exactly what you want.
Pickup date on your receipt
You leave the studio with the price and pickup date written down. If anything changes, we'll text you.
Careful with every garment
Formal wear, tailoring, and delicate fabrics are sewn with the right needle and thread for each one.
How it works
Send a photo
Text us a photo of the garment and what you'd like changed on WhatsApp. We'll reply with an estimate.
Bring it in

A neighborhood studio with the machine always running
True Stitch Alterations is located in Nob Hill, Albuquerque, in a small storefront space along Central Avenue. The seamstress behind the studio learned the craft from her grandmother and worked at local tailor shops before opening her own space.
The studio helps customers fit new clothes, get more wear out of old favorites, and repair pieces that carry sentimental value. Uniforms and small batches for local businesses are also part of the regular work.
- Private fitting room
- Alterations for company uniforms
- Pickup by appointment
What customers say
Sample reviews
They altered my bridesmaid dress with two fittings. It fit perfectly and was ready before the date.
Kayla M. I dropped off three pairs of pants to hem in the morning and picked them up the next day. The jeans kept the original hem look.
David R. They replaced the zipper on a jacket I really love. Friendly service, and the price was agreed on upfront.
