Monograms are initials or logos. Unlike other embroidery designs, they are not pure embellishments to the fabric. There are proper placements of your monograms depending on your garment or project. These are the accepted monogram placements. T-Shirts and Polo Tops The monograms for these garments must not be more than ¼ to 1 inch in height. It should be between 7 to 9 inches below the left shoulder seam. You may also place it 4 to 6 inches down the neck seam. If your shirt has a left chest pocket, place the monogram over the pocket area. Another placement is on top of the actual pocket fabric. Pajama Tops Monograms on these garments must be 7 to 9 inches below the left shoulder seam. They must be around 3 to 5 inches from the vertical center. These monograms must be no more than 2 inches in height. Cuffs Monograms must be on top of your wrist as you are wearing it. The bottom edge of the monogram is about 1/4 to ½ inch (0.64 to 1.27 cm.) above the edge of the shirt. You get the measurement of your placement from the center of the cuff 1 to 1 ⅜ inch (2.54 to 3.5 cm.) toward its buttonhole. Pillow Cases Monograms in pillowcases are always in the center. The size of the monograms can be bigger, depending on the size of the case. Some pillowcases have 12 inches (30.5 cm.) monograms. It all boils down to proportion and balance. Robes Monograms on robes must be 4 to 6 inches (10.2 to 15.2 cm.) down from either left or the right shoulder seam. These can be up to 4 inches in height. You may have less than 4 inches (10.2 cm.) if you want because monograms on robes are more versatile. Blankets Monograms on blankets must be at the bottom right or left corner. There must be 1 inch spacing on both sides. Monograms can also be at the center with 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.21 cm.) space above the bottom edge. You can also put these monograms at an angle from the center point.
