One of the things we like about monogram styles is that it's sometimes hard to guess when they were created. Looking at this one, what would you guess? Mid- 20th Century (1950s)? You'll be surprised to learn that this style was originally designed in the 1890s in France - called "lettres angulaires". Our version has been digitized for applique. It is also interesting without the applique and with an open center between satin stitch columns.

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.

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 Teen Monogram Set - for those with larger hoops. The large letters have also been redigitized for appliqué.
This extra-large style would be great on a pillow sham, bedspread, tote bag, 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.

This satin stitch monogram style is large and great on linens and towels. It also looks quite modern, espite the fact that the artwork, which we found in Europe, was published in 1872 - more than 130 years ago!
Digitizing this monogram style is the subject of "Digitizing Letters for Monograms Part I" by Richards Jarden, Designs in Machine Embroidery magazine, September/October 2007.
