Select the ExpressMonogram Wizard
to create a monogram from a set of initials. The Monogram page of the ExpressMonogram Wizard will appear.
Select a font style, thread color, shape and size. Surround the monogram with a border. Alternatively, create a monogram with no border, then in the Frame tab add a Frame or Flourish, or a motif underline.
Progress through the pages using Next
and Back
to alter each setting, or click Finish
at any time.
Any existing monogram will be retained in the work area.

Create a border automatically from the envelope. The border can have rounded or square corners, and if the spacing is large enough, letters can be bordered individually.

The Monogram fonts are recommended for use with the Classic envelopes that use SFS (small, full, small characters), as they are designed with mainly even width characters.
Check the size in the status bar as you progress, to ensure the embroidery will fit in the desired location.
You can set the properties for each, and select the thread color for stitching it.
On the work area, use Save or Save As to save the monogram in a .vp4 file for later use.
