GET INSPIRED!
Don't be afraid to add your own monogram or personal touch to anything. Here are some ideas from others to ignite your own creative genius.
MAKING IT YOURS
Mbelleishing your life couldn't be easier. With a little imagination you can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Step 1: Choose YOUR items
Almost anything can be Mbelleished...

While we carry a line of signature products available for your own monogram or custom embellishment, we specialize in specializing YOUR items.

Some of our most popular items include: sheets and pillowcases, robes, tote bags, baby clothing, backpacks, blankets and throws, corporate logo items, golf towels, bridesmaid gifts, burp cloths, pet jackets, sorority gifts, accent and throw pillows, napkins and placemats....the list is endless!
Step 2: Choose YOUR monogram & design
Add initials, a special design, whatever and make it...YOURS!

Want to add a crown to your little princess's book bag? A skull and crossbones to your brother's golf towel? A mustache to your man's grilling apron? We have a collection of basic artwork that can be added to any item, along with your lettering. Want something we don't have, like a jump-roping monkey? I can probably get it for you for a small fee - just ask! View a sample of monogram styles & designs.

Step 3: Choose YOUR thread colors
We carry a wide variety of standard colors or we can color match a specific item to your preference.

We offer your choice of 15 basic thread colors. If you need a very specific shade of green, etc., we can easily color-match thread to any item for a small fee. Due to limitations in the printing process, colors below should be viewed as representational. The color of the actual thread may be slightly different. View our standard thread colors.
Step 4: Email us!
Contact us directly.

We'll confirm your instructions, provide a price estimate and schedule a time to pick up your items. Most items can be embellished with a 14-day turn-around but let us know if you need an item sooner and we'll do our best to accommodate. Either way, your embellishment will be in your hands before you know it.
PRICING
Embroidery & Monogramming

Our pricing starts at $12.00 for a single initial or small monogram and goes to around $75.00 for our largest design. Our turnaround time is usually less than a week, a bit longer for larger orders. During the month of December, turnaround time is a week and a half to two weeks. We can arrange a rush order, if needed, for a fee.

Logo Digitizing

Embroidery digitizing is the process of turning your existing artwork into a stichable format that the embroidery machine can read. This art form cannot be learned overnight. Send us your artwork to get digitized and we will stitch out your logo on anything you would like. Copyright laws apply, pricing varies based on the size and complexity of your logo.

The Belle Has Moved
The studio is currently closed and no orders are being accepted during our relocation. Future business plans are TBD. The Belle and her family have purchased a 130 year old home and will be focusing on renovating it for the near future, so may or may not reopen. Thanks for your past business and support!
MONOGRAM STYLES
When choosing a monogram style, the sky is the limit. Intricate scripted letters, clean and simple block lettering, elaborate frames surrounding a monogram all Mbelleish a simple piece of fabric turning the ordinary into a work of art.

Here are a few things to consider:
Do you prefer retro, traditional, whimsical or modern designs? Is the item for a man, woman couple, or child? Where are you using your monogram items? What is the style of your home? Do you have wallpaper in your bedroom or bathroom?

Some letters may look just like you want them to, while some letters, like the letter F, J, S & T's can all look a little different that you may expect, depending on the font you choose. If you prefer symmetry, consider choosing a font that is more upright than slanted.

The most common monogram design is the three letter monogram with last name initial in the center and larger than the other two initials. The first name initial goes on the left and middle or maiden name initial on the right. Linda Fritz Austin would be LAF

When three letter monograms are done using same size lettering, the monogram would read in the same order as the name: Linda Fritz Austin would be LFA. This is customary for block lettering and very small monograms.

Monogramming for...

A married couple who are sharing one last name.

For a three-letter monogram, place the bride's initial on the left, and the groom's initial on the right, and the first letter of the last name in the center ("ladies first"). While this is the most common practice today, it is also a matter of personal preference. It is perfectly fine if you prefer to have the groom's initial on the left, and the bride's initial on the right.

Someone who has no middle initial.

Use a two-letter monogram, where the letters are the same size. The first initial should be on the left, and the last initial on the right.

Someone who has four names (ex. Mary Ellen Ruth Hart).

A monogram with letters of all the same size looks best:

MERH

You can also stack the letters to make a square:

ME
RH

A newly-married couple who are hyphenating both last names to form a new last name. (ex. Douglas Peter Jamieson marries Gail Marie Nelson).

Use a large J and N in the center, smaller D and G on the sides: DJNG
