Cutwork Monogram Sets
Cutwork is an heirloom embroidery technique incorporating open areas into the overall design. In "Richelieu" cutwork, distinctive buttonhole bars cross the open areas. This handwork technique can be created by machine using heavy-duty water soluble stabilizer. The artwork for this monogram style comes from 1917.
Step-by-Step instructions are provided. For those not inclined to use the cutwork option this monogram style still looks beautiful.

This Cutwork monogram style has a harvest theme. The artwork is from 1910. The satin stitch letters have a shadowed area made of manual seed stitches with a thin satin stitch border, and a three-color wheat embellishment. The open ladderwork areas within each letter can be used with heavy-duty water soluble stabilizer for a true cutwork effect.
We have introduced color changes to extend the design capabilities, but like many of our styles this monogram would traditionally be white-on-white.
Step-by-Step instructions are provided. For those not inclined to use the cutwork option this monogram style still looks beautiful.

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 applique.
