Placement of Monogramming

 

Memory Craft Sewing Machines have wonderful lettering and monogramming capabilities. In order to get the most out of your Memory Craft, here are a few tips on monogram placement.

Always make sure your garment is stabilized correctly.

If using Memory Cards for lettering or monogramming, use the Clothsetter for accurate placement.

Cuffs

  1. On a shirt, the left cuff is where you would place a monogram.
  2. Fold the cuff in half and, on the side with the buttonhole, measure one inch in from the fold, and 1/2 inch from the bottom of the cuff. Mark this point; this is where your monogram will be sewn.
  3. The size of the lettering should be approximately 1/4 inch.

Pocket

  1. Unless you are making the shirt yourself, you will have to remove the pocket and re-sew it on after you have monogrammed.
  2. Fold the pocket in half and measure 1/2 inch down from the top of the fold.
  3. Mark this point; this is where your monogram should be.
  4. If you are sewing a design or monogram on a uniform shirt, the bottom of the design or name should be 1/2 inch up from the top of the pocket.

Blouse

The correct placement, on a Ladies' blouse, should measure approximately 7 inches down from the shoulder seam and 3 1/2 to 4 inches to the left of the center front.

Towels

The proper placement, for a design on a bath towel, is 2 inches plus half the monogram size above the border.

Pillow Cases

The monogram or, if you wish, an embroidery design may be centered
