Cross-stitched Initials
In this section I show you how to create the cross-stitch initials that create a monogram on the shirt below what was knows as the bosom slit. You will need a contrasting thread. For historical stitching I would suggest red thread. We will create this monogram referencing a PDF diagram. This video shows you beginning my monogram which is SEW. You will use the techniques and apply them to your initials. Please see the PDF for the cross-stitch diagram I reference in the video.
