This two-color monogram style is a recreation from the late 1930s.The background shading is composed of overlapping satin stitches, and the letter itself is a thin satin stitch - this style is equally elegant on linens in colors or tone-on-tone. Several of the letters were pictured in a 1938 article in "House Beautiful", and from those we were able to imagine the rest.

A three-letter monogram in this style can be composed as a square or a diagonal arrangement - or align smaller size letters with a larger size letter flipped on its side. The fill is satin stitch, split into two sections with mitered corners, and with a thin satin stitch border. This three-color design can be simplified by sewing the letters with only one or two thread colors. This monogram style has a masculine quality.
This style is featured in "Hobknobbing" by Betsy Dubicki, Creative Machine Embroidery magazine, May/June 2003.

This is a crisp and simple style from the 1940s. A combination of three letters, plus companion borders will create a square monogram. This style looks great on linens and towels, and can also be used for fashion sewing on a scarf or for an eye-catching embellishment on a jacket. While a standard monogram traditionally shows the last name initial as the largest, this style is designed to have that initial placed on the right.
Not everyone has three initials, so in addition to the combined triple border, we have included each of those three lines as an individual design, which will make it easy to create single letter and two-letter monograms.

Taken from 1940s artwork, the letters are done in satin stitch. The monogram set includes a grouping of three dot accents, digitized to simulate a wing-needle look with a hole in the center of the circle. This versatile style can be used in a variety of arrangements - letters on a diagonal with the dots used as caps, on a baseline with the dots as flanking elements, or on a center line.

Digitized from artwork produced in Germany in 1929, when stylish display typefaces were the seals of modernity. This monogram style is digitized for applique, with a running stitch for position, and a light density zig-zag stitch for tack-down. These two elements are covered by satin stitch columns. This style is equally striking in one color without the applique.

This monogram style is digitized from artwork from 1933. The elegant vertical letters are done in satin stitch, with wider areas that are filled in with a manual seed stitch - each stitch placed individually by hand. The effect of this interesting texture is reminiscent of the karakul lamb's coat - from a breed of sheep native to the deserts of Central Asia. This "fur", referred to as Persian Lamb, has a tight curly nature - durable, valuable, and used for high-fashion fur coats and collars in the 1930s and 40s.
