Precise Placement

For precise placement, sew a sample, then make a photocopy of it. Determine the exact center of the design by measuring the width, then the height. Mark this spot with a pencil, then make a hole with a paper punch at the center point. Place this template on the hooped fabric, then position the needle directly over the design center.

If a handkerchief you are monograming has woven line patterns around the edge, do you monogram over that or place the design out of the lined area?

It would be typical to avoid sewing over the woven details in a men's handkerchief.

Some of the designs pictured in our Monogram Museum in our retail site, Embroideryarts.com, show monograms on men's handkerchief.
