A bigger version of our popular Arabesque Monogram Set 4 - for those with larger hoops.
Like the smaller version, this 1930s style is all curves and flourishes, done in intertwining satin stitch elements.
These designs can be enlarged even further in your software - up to 10" (254mm) - without the need to convert the satin stitches to a fill pattern.
NOTE: The letters in this Monogram Set have more variation in size - height and width - than most of our styles. We are preserving the size variations in the original artwork. The tails on several of the letters (G,J,Y) make these letters taller than the others, and the W is wider than it is tall.

The artwork for several of the letters in this monogram set came to us from the catalogue of a 1940s commercial monogram shop - we imagined and recreated the rest. Make two or three-letter combinations from larger and smaller scale satin stitch letters on top of the lily-of-the-valley background design - the combinations created can be sewn with one or two thread colors.

The Cornely (chainstitch) embroidery machine was developed for production in the 1888s to automate a popular hand stitch where the needle penetrates the fabric, comes back up through a loop of thread and proceeds in this fashion to create a chain of thread. These machines are still in use today for "fancy stitch" embroidery.
A modern embroidery machine uses two threads - a top thread and a bottom (bobbin) thread which lock together as a series of stitches is sewn. This type of machine can't make a true chainstitch, but it is possible to simulate the look of one. For this monogram style we have simulated a chainstitch, and to provide a bit more density for towels and thick fabrics there are two parallel runs of these stitches making up the parts of each letter. They are carefully crafted to maintain a handmade look.

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.

We call this monogram style "Five and Dime" because the artwork is from an iron-on transfer pattern that was sold through Woolworth's Department Stores in the 1940s. The letters are digitized in a graceful satin stitch with plenty of underlay. This is another classic style that is perfect on bed linens, either tone-on-tone or in a bright, contrasting color.

A bigger version of our popular Triangle Monogram Set 4 - for those with larger hoops.
The letters and the brackets are done in satin stitch. Like the smaller version, 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.
Special Note For Triangle 4 Xl Monogram Set: These designs can be combined in your software to produce three-letter monograms. The brackets are optional. With the brackets a three-letter monogram, without any resizing, would be 10 7/8" (276mm), so this design is unusually wide. If your hoop cannot accommodate this size we recommend either splitting the design in your software, reducing the size until your hoop can accommodate the design width, or avoiding the brackets.
