Monogram Frames & Borders

A monogram alone says initials; a framed monogram says finished. These frames and borders wrap any letter in a setting, sunshine rays, scallops, holly wreaths, snowflake borders, so the result reads like a designed piece instead of a letter floating on fabric.

Browsing works in two steps here, and it helps to know that going in. First pick the frame; then pick its stitch treatment, because signature frames repeat across styles. The Football Monogram Frame, for instance, comes in four versions, fill, sketch, smooth applique, and zig zag applique, four different characters from one shape. Sports parents get particular attention, with baseball diamond and glove frames alongside the football set.

Themed frames carry the calendar: pumpkin and apple monograms for fall, snowflake and holly for winter, a Pencil Name Frame for teacher gifts and backpacks. Whatever the season, the frame supplies the decoration so the initial can stay classically simple.

Letters come from the main monogram sets; frames from here; and if you want the pairing pre-made, several monogram fonts in this collection build the frame in. Everything downloads at purchase, in sizes for hoops small to statement.
