Handwork monograms from the 1920s and 1930s often combine a central outline initial with flanking smaller initials done in satin stitch. This style, taken from artwork originally produced in Europe for professional hand embroiderers, uses a center letter with shading details. The small ring-shaped corner detail creates a very classic look that is just as interesting white-on-white.
This monogram style is intended to produce three- letter monograms, but the center letters would look great if used alone. They are done with satin stitch columns with a row of candlewick stitches filling the open portion of the letter.
The flanking letters are also satin stitch in a contrasting style.
The artwork for this style was designed for hand embroiderers in 1879. We have adapted this very traditional monogram style for machine embroidery by adding an additional underlay column throughout, which simulates the look of padded satin stitch.
This monogram style is from the United States, created in 1875 - one of our oldest historical styles. The letters are digitized in satin stitch.
1875 - a noteworthy year. The British government purchases the Suez Canal, Alexander Graham Bell achieves the technical breakthrough that will lead to the creation of an electric telephone, and the United States Congress passes a Civil Rights Act that guarantees blacks equal rights in public places.
