    John, thanks so much for your compliment. Nice way to begin my day upon logging into the forum.


    Really thought I was looking at a rework or remake when the issue was first raised. Would not have been able to give as thorough of a response without the help from the rabble here. Relief to have this one work out during the crunch time of the Christmas season.

We used to do basic, conventional embroidery which became rather stale and boring. Since transitioning to the heraldry, we have had to learn the nuances involved with each family and clan. Challenging at times but fun as well.

    Please let me know if you have any questions. Personally, I believe you have made the right choice as the motto you have on the shirt does indeed meet the guidelines expressed by your clan Chief. Hopefully you are pleased and will enjoy it for a long time.

    Wishing you a blessed Christmas.

    PS thanks for the diversion as I have been able to learn something new.
    Fantastic response! Being in the custom screen printing/embroidery business myself, may I please steal this and use it for when we have "discrepencies"?
