You may find something different online and you can adjust your monogram to whatever format suits you. A classic monogram font is created using your
first name initial on the left,
middle name initial on the right and the
last name initial larger in the middle.
This is what mine looks like by combining the
Left Flourish Monogram Font (S), the Center Flourish Monogram Font (C) and
the Right Flourish Monogram Font (E).
the Right Flourish Monogram Font (E).
You will need all three fonts to accomplish this type of monogram.
If you're creating a monogram for a married couple, their last initial goes in the middle (larger), the bride's first initial to the left and the groom's to the right. For instance (oh, this is tough! Most of my friends kept their maiden names!) .... When George married Martha, this would have been their monogram (made in the colours of her geraniums!):
To create our 3-Letter Monogram in Silhouette Studio:
You will need the three fonts:
- Type out the first letter, highlight it and use the drop-down menu to choose the QFD Left Flourish Monogram Font.
- Separately type out the middle initial, highlight it and choose the QFD Middle Flourish Monogram Font.
- And lastly type out the right initial, highlight it and choose the QFD Right Flourish Monogram Font.
- Once you click off these they become objects, so you can align them.
- Click the middle initial and enlarge it to the size you want.
- Now move the other two initials closer so the flourishes overlap until you like the look of the monogram.
- Group all the letters together and enlarge to the size you need. Of course, add some colour! All the letters can be the same colour, or they can all be different!
- You can print them, just like this in a frame of your choice, or weld them together and cut out the detailed 3-Letter Monogram!
- Warning - it's like eating chips. It's really hard to stop at one!
