"I have been doing business with Teri for many years. My emboidered shirts were originally purchased through a uniform company. This necessitated large orders and limited selection. In doing business with Teri I coild do small orders and select from a catalog or bring in my own items. This change reduced my costs substantially not only in total dollars, but by as much as 50% on a per piece basis. I could even buy jackets on sale and give to specil customers or employees with my logo on it. Even screen printing was available in smaller quantities than the big guys. Putting your business I.D. out there is what its about.

On a non-business level you shop for a baby gift, buy a garment and have it emroidered with the babies name and its value to the recipient is unbeleivable. I bought Italian marble coasters with a logo of 'Gath' Vineyards and various types of wine on each coaster for my Dad's 90th birthday. Everyone loved them even the one with the varietal 'Two Buck Chuck.' I can't say enough about the quality, attention to detail, timliness and idea support she has given me, myfamily, friends and others I have referred to her."
