Applique monograms seem to be increasingly popular lately. This style is simple and geometric, finished with a satin stitch outline. Any fabric from plain to patterned is appropriate.

Digitized from artwork produced in Germany in 1929, when stylish display typefaces were the seals of modernity. This monogram style is digitized for applique, with a running stitch for position, and a light density zig-zag stitch for tack-down. These two elements are covered by satin stitch columns. This style is equally striking in one color without the applique.

This monogram style came from an iron-on transfer pattern from the 1940s. It is intended for the creation of a three-letter oval shaped monogram, accomplished by merging the appropriate letters from left, middle, and right versions. The center letter can be used alone for a single letter monogram. The designs are digitized in satin stitch with ample underlay for use on towels or fleece.

From the catalogue of a commercial monogram shop in the late 1930s, this modern style features satin stitch letters intended to create three-letter monograms in a slanted oval shape. The included placement design makes perfect placement of the letters quick and easy.
