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 Category - ThinSilk Lantern - $39.95

We acquired a style book from an old monogram shop that went out of business. The book contains examples of the shop's offerings, showing only a few letters for each style. We were intrigued by a variation on a geometric triangle - this one has curling script letters that can be arranged in a three- letter triangle form, with brackets to accent the triangle shape. We recreated the rest of the alphabet, digitizing the letters in satin stitch. An outline template design is also included to make it quick and easy to place the letters when merging them in your embroidery software program. ››Detailed Info ››Catalog Page ››Compare Styles Category - ThinVictorian 6 - $39.95
