Embroidery is the stitching of art work to form a design that can be put on clothing or other items.

Embroidery is used to form logos and designs. This can be used for small businesses, large companies boat names, or the name of your summer retreat. An embroidery design can also be used with a monogram.

A monogram is the use of three letters to form the initials of an individual. In a traditional three letter monogram the initials are place first name, last name, then the middle name. Two letter monograms are sometimes used as well. They are typically the same size, but other variations can also be used. Monograms can be used on any personal item.

An item being monogrammed for a wedding traditionally uses the brides new married initials. If you are looking for a more modern approach, the trend now is to use the bride’s first name, their last name, and the groom’s first name. For example, Jane and David Jackson would be jJd. If you want a different look, try a single letter in a square, a circle, or any decorative border. There full name can be used.
