I have used Queensboro Shirts for custom embroidery many times. They do a free
logo set up, supposedly for only the first one but have never charged me for
changes or new logos. Their products are great quality - embroidery outstanding
- and best of all have a 4 item minimum - and can be 4 different garments /
hats etc. They also have a service that allows clubs etc to set up a "store"
- allowing members to order items - and allow the club to get a cut - might be
worth a look to set something up on the c&cphotoalbum.
