Perennial Monogram Sets
This monogram style is derived from a 1940s vintage monogrammed hankie in our Monogram Museum collection. The fluid satin stitch letters are framed by a three color oval border - a stylized satin stitch vine motif with a twist effect, along with leaves and four delicate satin stitch flowers with open centers. This style looks wonderful sewn all in one color, tone-on-tone. The letters can be used alone by skipping the border, which sews first.

Inspired by a 1940s vintage monogrammed hankie in our Monogram Museum collection, this elaborate style includes several digitizing techniques based on handwork. There are small oval seed stitch fill patterns, bordered by satin stitch edges and leaf details. Short sections of chain stitch create an overall oval border, finished with satin stitch flowers at the top and bottom. The monogram letters are digitized with several underlay layers to create extra lift for the satin stitches, and several small split columns create depressions, as often seen in finely crafted hand embroidery.
Digitizing this monogram style is the subject of "Hand Embroidery by Machine" Threads Magazine, July 2004.

This monogram style was inspired by a vintage embroidered monogram from our extensive collection. The original is all one color - white-on-white - and this style will look elegant sewn that way. In order to add some additional design flexibility we have digitized color breaks for the different elements of the garland so that a complex palette of spring colors can be used. All of the elements are satin stitch. As with others of this type, you can sew the garland alone by stopping before the initial is sewn, or sew just the initial alone by skipping past the colors in the garland.
