Hi Mary Begeot! Thanks for writing. I'm glad you liked the project.

I would love to know where you got the Embroidery font you're using. I have looked everywhere online. I love it. And I love your idea. I watch lots of your videos. Thanks for the motivation and ideas you pass along.

Thanks for the kind comments and for your question Lynda! That particular monogram font collection is built into the Brother NS1750D machine that is used on set. It's also found in a few other Brother models. The octagon is a frame shape built in to all Brother embroidery machines. As an alternative, this set from Designs by JuJu is the closest I've seen: www.designsbyjuju.com/spring-floral-monogram-alphabet. In addition, embroidery arts.com is a popular site for monograms. Not sure if they have something similar to this but they do have tons of options. Hope this helps. Happy Stitching!

what brother machine do you use

[@carolinabeachgrl]

@@deborahpersoon5243 If you are asking me Deborah I use a 4x4 brother SE400. I would love to upgrade but no way my budge allows for that. I just learn to cut corners in doing my embroidery. I love it. So much fun don't you all agree. Give me something to keep me busy.
