I teach you how to create monograms using the embroidery fonts that are built into your system in Module 1. In Module 2, I also teach you how to create monograms using true type fonts.

Video: Closing Remarks About Monograms
In this video, I talk about the difference between running a large monogram that has been edited properly and running a monogram that has just been enlarged and had the stitch pattern changed. You are looking at a running time for the enlarged monogram of over 2.5 times as long and this is very costly.
Designs: Borders To Add To Monograms
These are Borders that can be added to your monograms to give them an entirely different look. I have also added these borders under script sayings, names, and dates. They make a great addition and it gives your design more of a custom look that other embroiderers do not offer. These are borders that I have created and used myself on many occasions! I hope you enjoy them!
I am also offering them in 3 different file formats. One of these formats will work in your embroidery software.
If the file breaks when you are trying to download it, copy and paste the link in your browser and that should work.

These 2 fonts, Sheer Elegance and Vivaldi, are my favorite true type fonts and I use them regularly! These are excellent fonts and you will be able to create a lot of different monograms with them. They are especially great for wedding presents. These two true type fonts are zipped together in one file. When you download and unzip the file you can install each one into your Font file in Windows.
