Using Sacramento for monograms

Sacramento is a monoline script: every stroke is the same width, with no hairlines. That makes it the easiest script to cut, to weed and to embroider as a single satin column, and it looks right on glassware where copperplates look busy.

Formal scripts are the traditional choice for wedding monograms, vine monograms, towels and stationery. The initials are usually set with the surname initial larger in the centre, without a frame or with a thin circle. Script fonts have thin joining strokes, so they need size: 3 to 4 inches in adhesive vinyl, 4 to 5 inches in heat-transfer vinyl, and 2.5 inches or more for satin-stitch embroidery. Weed the hairlines last, with a fine hook, and use a strong transfer tape.

For the name in a split monogram or the date under a wedding monogram, pair Sacramento with Montserrat; the tool’s “Text font” control sets it.
