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.

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.

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.

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 classic two-letter triangle monogram, with a corner bracket, arranged in a dramatic right triangle shape. The artwork for this style came from a 1930s European source. This style can be used as is for linens. Use your resizing software to reduce the size for napkins, or enlarge for use on towels or shower curtains. The designs are digitized in satin stitch.

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.

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.
