Each design here is a complete piece of word art: the lettering is laid out with small accents, such as a heart, a star or a sprig of leaves, so the phrase reads as one picture. Short words like Home, Love or Hello stitch quickly and stay legible even at the smallest size. Longer quotes need more height, because the letters shrink as the line gets longer.
Match the phrase to the item: a kitchen saying on a flour-sack dish towel, a motivating line on a gym bag, a cozy word on a throw pillow. These towels are thin, so hoop them firmly over mesh cut-away or a lightweight tear-away. Pillow covers in cotton or linen take a medium tear-away, and sweatshirts always take cut-away.
For your own wording, type it into the monogram maker and add a small motif from the library. Cozy sayings for the house are also in the home designs, and kitchen phrases sit well next to the kitchen designs.
