The Small Letter page is displayed if you selected an envelope with small letters in the Monogram page.

Use the Small Letter page to select how the small letters in the monogram are to be displayed.

The relative size of the small and large letters is set by the envelope selected in the Monogram page.

You can check that your small letters are within the recommended range by looking at the Height

Choose the font, width, stitch type and color of the letters.

Alternative Style

If this option is not selected, the color and style of the small letters in the monogram will be identical to the other letters, and all other options on this page will be grayed out.

This option is selected by default.
