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.

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.

This monogram style is from the 1930s. The background is an overlapping mesh, surrounded by a satin stitch border with a bean stitch highlight. The satin stitch monogram letter is flanked by two circular embellishments. The letters are digitized for applique, so a contrasting colored fabric can be laid under the mesh, or the design can be sewn as cutwork utilizing water-soluble stabilizer. Although digitized with 5 colors, this looks wonderfully subtle if sewn all in white.

In the 1930s and 40s, department stores like Woolworths sold iron-on transfer patterns for a wide variety or subject matter, including monogramming. The patterns could be transferred to fabric with a hot iron, and the pattern then used for hand embroidery. This style is based on one of those patterns. In addition to creating a three-letter diamond monogram, the smaller left and right flanking letters can be used together to create a two-letter diamond shape.

A bigger version of our popular Romanesque Monogram Set 7 - for those with larger hoops. The large letters have also been redigitized for appliqué.
In addition to the full three-letter combination, you can delete the two color border in your software (or skip these colors on your machine) and sew out a three-letter monogram without border. Or you can use the letter alone (with or without the rectangular border), etc. etc.
A few words about appliqué: If you haven't attempted an appliqué design the procedure can be fun, and challenging. We've seen appliqué designs with simple oversized shapes that a child could cut out and execute - this isn't one of those. It requires some dexterity and concentration to produce a professional result.
This style is digitized following standard appliqué procedure: Color 1 is a running stitch, which establishes the letter outline. Color 2 is a light density zig-zag stitch which stabilizes the cut fabric edges. These two elements are covered up beneath a satin stitch border.
If you're not up to the challenge you can use this style anyway - just let these first two colors run as digitized, but don't add any appliqué fabric.

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.
