Monograms are used to personalize your clothes and your belongings. Any
type of printing may be used. First draw the letter or letters. The thick
parts are padded with chain stitch as shown. Padding is concealed with
closely made Satin Stitch.
Note: A form of monogramming in great vogue is to write out your name in
your own handwriting on some garment and embroider it in outline or
similar stitch.
Chain Stitch:
Holding
work toward you, bring the thread up through the traced line and hold
it down with the left thumb. Pass needle through the same place again
and bring it out about 1/8 inch in front of previous stitch.
