Monogram embroidery designs

Framed initials, split monograms and floral letter wreaths: these monogram embroidery designs are finished, decorative letters drawn and digitized as complete pieces. Download free monograms in the format your machine reads, such as PES, JEF, EXP or VP3. On a bath towel, center the monogram a few inches above the woven border and use a water-soluble topping so the satin stays on top of the loops.

A ready-made monogram is one complete design: the letter, its frame and any flowers or flourishes are drawn together, so the proportions are already balanced. That is the difference from the monogram maker, where you type any combination of letters or a name and receive a custom file. Pick a library monogram for one decorated initial, and the maker when you need two or three specific letters.

Classic places for a monogram are bath towels, pillowcase hems, napkin corners, tote bags and the chest or cuff of a shirt. A split monogram, where a letter or shape is divided in the middle, leaves room for a name that you add on your machine or in the maker. On napkins, turn the design 45 degrees so it sits diagonally in the corner.

For frames to put around your own initials, see the frame and border designs. Flower rings for a name or a wedding date are in floral wreath and frame designs.

Frequently asked questions

What order do the letters go in a three-letter monogram?

In the traditional style with a larger middle letter, the last name initial goes in the center, the first name initial on the left and the middle name initial on the right. With all three letters the same size, they usually follow the normal order: first, middle, last.

How do I monogram a wedding gift for a couple?

The traditional layout puts the shared last name initial in the center, larger, with the two first initials on either side. Use a ready-made monogram for a single initial on towels or a ring pillow, or build the three-letter version in the monogram maker.

Where should a monogram go on a bath towel?

Center it across the width, a few inches above the woven border on the end that faces out when the towel hangs. Use tear-away or cut-away underneath and a water-soluble topping on top, and choose a design that fits between the border and the fold.
