One thing you might suggest to your customer is that he create his own
graphic, print it out with an ink jet printer and iron it on his own shirt;
this
doesn't help the cap situation much but he's doing it for personal use for the
shirts and thus doesn't put anyone else at risk.

Thanks Jeff,
I think the customer and I have come to an understanding and I have
tactfully requested he seek the services of another embroiderer.
I am not ready to lose all that I have worked so hard for!
Wow...that ate at me all weekend!!
