Chainstitch 1 - $29.95

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.

Perennial 1 - $29.95

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.

Perennial 2 - $29.95

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.

Perennial 3 - $29.95

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.

Romanesque 7 - $29.95

This monogram style is digitized from 1940s artwork. The large letters are done as outlines in satin stitch with open centers between border elements, and each letter sits in the center with a two color rectangular satin stitch frame surrounding it. The smaller letters are simpler in style, and are intended for use in creating a three letter monogram by merging the appropriate letter on the left and right.

In addition to the three-letter combination shown, there are a multitude of possibilities: Want a single initial with frame? (use only the large letter) Want everything as a single color? (use the same thread for all three design colors). Want only the larger open letter without the frame? (skip color 1 and color 2 on your machine.) Want the larger open letter with flanking letters, but no frame? (merge the flanking letters on either side, then delete colors 1 and 2 in your software). You get the idea - simple manipulations create very different visual results.

The artwork for this monogram style is from a French publication for hand embroiderers from 1910. A leaf and vine motif surrounds the letters, accented with circular dots between the upper and lower garland sections. All the elements, including the very thin details are digitized in satin stitch.

The artwork for this monogram style is French - from the 1930s. The leaf motif outline is done in satin stitch, as are the letters. The interior leaf fill is a manual seed stitch. In order to provide maximum creative color potential that element is digitized as three passes - in three different colors. Our sewn sample shows how this can look with orange, light green, and yellow gold treads. For a simpler result you can use the same thread color for all three - or sew just the outline by skipping over the fill colors. However it's done this two-letter monogram has a sophisticated look.

Triangle 4 - $29.95

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.
