Monogram Placement Guide

Bedding

General Instructions: Don’t annoy your sleeper. Placement and thread can affect the comfort of the item. Spread out the item as you would see it on a well-made bed to help with visualizing and marking the correct placement.

Top Sheet: Top Sheets are placed on a bed upside-down and the top (wide hem) is then folded back to right-side-up. This means that the monogram is apparently embroidered upside down. Looking at a made-up bed will help you visualize this. Place the bottom of the monogram 2” from the wide hem, centered. The monogram should be 3” to 4” tall. Embroidering inside the wide hem is sometimes preferred, and when doing so the design is sized to fit.

Pillowcase: Embroidering inside the wide hem is generally preferred, and when doing so the design is sized to fit. If the font allows it, the monogram should be 2.5” to 3” tall. Placement is centered, monogram facing toward the opening.

Pillow Sham: Center the design on the sham, facing the long edge as if it were a pillowcase with an opening. The monogram should be 2.5” to 4” tall.

Blanket: Centered on the top like a sheet or facing into the bottom, right corner at a 45-degree angle. The monogram should be 4” tall.

Duvet Cover: Centered on the top. The monogram should be large, up to 12” tall.
