One of the things we like about monogram styles is that it's sometimes hard to guess when they were created. Looking at this one, what would you guess? Mid- 20th Century (1950s)? You'll be surprised to learn that this style was originally designed in the 1890s in France - called "lettres angulaires". Our version has been digitized for appliqué. It is also interesting without the appliqué and with an open center between satin stitch columns.

The flowing swirls of this classic monogram style are done in satin stitch with ample underlay to create a rounded look. The letters in this single-initial monogram style are framed by an arc on either side, done in two colors. Within the satin stitch border are areas of seed stitch, which add a luxurious texture as a counterpoint to the satin stitching. The letters can be used without the border by stopping your machine after the first color, or deleting the brackets in your embroidery software program.

The artwork for this monogram style is from 1938. It is a blend of old world (open ladderwork borders) and new world (a simple contemporary letter style).
For a true cutwork effect, use heavy-duty water soluble stabilizer. This style is just as attractive without the open ladderwork, or the borders can have a fabric insert if executed as appliqué.

A bigger version of our popular Teen Monogram Set - for those with larger hoops. The large letters have also been redigitized for appliqué.
This extra-large style would be great on a pillow sham, bedspread, tote bag, 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.
