Which is the proper way to place the apostrophe (for the S) in this situation ( when using script fonts) It always looks like it is just hanging out there on that tail. This will be for shirts. I know it needs to be welded and all that jazz. Or does it matter?
thanks
Mike

Personally, I would go with the second one. Both are legible and get the point across, but I always prefer to keep the scripted letters fused, even with an apostrophe.

Thanks that's the way I always do it to. But sometimes I see it done the other way, and I think it doesn't look so well, even if does not have a tail attached.
Thanks for your input.

With a script, ending with an 's, I always type out the entire word then insert the ' where it looks best.
I don't like to break up the flow of the script.
Love....Jill

I've used both ways. It depends on the rest of the sign and elements being used.

What bothers me more is the way the upswing from the 'u' into the 'l' don't match. You realize when doing that word by hand, those two strokes that you don't have connected really would've been connected ?? Going from the 'u', the side stroke is a continuation... of which then loops around thus forming the beginning of the next letter and so on.
