A three-letter monogram in this style can be composed as a square or a diagonal arrangement - or align smaller size letters with a larger size letter flipped on its side. The fill is satin stitch, split into two sections with mitered corners, and with a thin satin stitch border. This three-color design can be simplified by sewing the letters with only one or two thread colors. This monogram style has a masculine quality. ››Detailed Info ››Catalog Page ››Compare Styles Shapes - AngularArt Deco 5 - $39.95
This is a crisp and simple style from the 1940s. A combination of three letters, plus companion borders will create a square monogram. This style looks great on linens and towels, and can also be used for fashion sewing on a scarf or for an eye-catching embellishment on a jacket. While a standard monogram traditionally shows the last name initial as the largest, this style is designed to have that initial placed on the right. ››Detailed Info ››Catalog Page ››Compare Styles Shapes - AngularArt Deco 7 - $39.95

This monogram style is from the 1930s. The background is an overlapping mesh, surrounded by a satin stitch border with a bean stitch highlight. The satin stitch monogram letter is flanked by two circular embellishments. The letters are digitized for appliqué, so a contrasting colored fabric can be laid under the mesh, or the design can be sewn as cutwork utilizing water-soluble stabilizer. Although digitized with 5 colors, this looks wonderfully subtle if sewn all in white. ››Detailed Info ››Catalog Page ››Compare Styles Shapes - AngularDiamond 4 - $39.95
In the 1930s and 40s, department stores like Woolworths sold iron-on transfer patterns for a wide variety or subject matter, including monogramming. The patterns could be transferred to fabric with a hot iron, and the pattern then used for hand embroidery. This style is based on one of those patterns. In addition to creating a three-letter diamond monogram, the smaller left and right flanking letters can be used together to create a two-letter diamond shape. ››Detailed Info ››Catalog Page ››Compare Styles Shapes - AngularDiamond 5 - $39.95

A bigger version of our popular Romanesque Monogram Set 7 - for those with larger hoops. The large letters have also been redigitized for appliqué. In addition to the full three-letter combination, you can delete the two color border in your software (or skip these colors on your machine) and sew out a three-letter monogram without border. Or you can use the letter alone (with or without the rectangular border), etc. etc. A few words about appliqué: If you haven't attempted an appliqué design the procedure can be fun, and challenging. We've seen appliqué designs with simple oversized shapes that a child could cut out and execute - this isn't one of those. It requires some dexterity and concentration to produce a professional result. This style is digitized following standard appliqué procedure: Color 1 is a running stitch, which establishes the letter outline. Color 2 is a light density zig-zag stitch which stabilizes the cut fabric edges. These two elements are covered up beneath a satin stitch border. If you're not up to the challenge you can use this style anyway - just let these first two colors run as digitized, but don't add any appliqué fabric. ››Detailed Info ››Catalog Page ››Compare Styles Shapes - AngularRustic 2 - $39.95
This "Old English" monogram style also has some distinctly American roots. In 1939, Big Band leader Harry James discovered a kid named Frank Sinatra waiting tables and singing at a small restaurant and supper club just outside New York City on Route 9-W in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. The club was The Rustic Cabin and this style was used on the menu cover. ››Detailed Info ››Catalog Page ››Compare Styles Shapes - AngularTriangle 1 - $39.95
