I heard that it's perfectly legal to make your own cheques as long as they have all the relevant info on them. Is this true?

To answer a 3 year old question, yes, it's legal in the US, but not everyone will accept a check that doesn't have certain security markings or looks "home made."

I used to work for a check printer called Deluxe. There's something called a "wood-cut" or a "cut" which is a symbol, drawing or some kind of picture that goes to the left of the name and address area. Deluxe literally had thousands to choose from, and if they didn't have what you wanted you could submit a picture or drawing and they would make it for you (for a fee). Inquire at your bank next time you order checks.
