Your monogram should be very personal. In choosing your monogram, select a style of monogram that you think best expresses your own tastes, and the sort of social lifestyle you lead. It is your personal cipher and it should be used as such. I will then create a monogram unique to you or your client. The monogram can be 1, 2 or 3 letters combined. The approval process for this part is easily done via e-mail, fax machine or telephone. Once you indicate which style of monogram you would like, I will illustrate some preliminary drawings and send them via email. We will discuss these and I will make any necessary revisions.
When we have finalized the design, it will then be submitted to the embroiderer for an estimate. Upon approval you will receive a sample "stitch-out. This will be your monogram stitched out on a test piece of fabric. Once the stitch-out is approved, it takes approximately 4 – 6 weeks for the final stitching to be finished. This time may vary according to the number of items being produced. Compared to many of the European linen companies that offer their clients a 9 month delivery date, I am proud to offer a more expedient service.
	The monogram designs can be used for stationery as well. The process is the same in terms of the illustrations. Once you approve the design, I will supply you with camera-ready artwork, which you can take to the stationery company of your choice. They will be able to create a die from the original artwork.
	Your monogram can also be engraved on crystal, silver and other metals. I use an engraver who does both hand and machine engraving. He does work for Tiffany, Cartier, etc. along with etching for clients like Steuben. Please let me know if you are interested.
	I am able to supply linens as well as the designs. In addition to bed, bath and table linens, I also have guest towels, linen nightgowns and bathrobes, lingerie envelopes, tooth fairy pillows, blankets, throws, handkerchiefs, wedding ring pillows and other items. Please inquire regarding any other custom requests.
	Sheets & pillowcases: I recommend ordering 3 complete sets of sheets and pillowcases (3 flat sheets, 3 fitted/bottom sheets, 6 or more pillowcases). The “rule” is one on the bed, one in the wash and one in the closet. Towels: Three of each bath towel, hand towel, and washcloth is recommended for each bathroom. Napkins: It is suggested that a minimum of 12 napkins is ordered, since they are sometimes spoiled and stained with use.
