One of the most exciting things about this project is that I found a J I actually like!!! J is such a weird letter. (So is T for that matter, my initials are really annoying). In most beautiful script fonts, you can't tell the difference between the I and J (and often the T looks like a J, sigh...). And in fonts where J is recognizable, it looks incredibly boring. So imagine the delight I experienced finding a beautiful J... right under my nose!! This J is from Embird Alphabet #38, which I use a lot. Isn't it lovely? I used a fill stitch in four different sizes for the various items.

Great job, Janay! I love the "J", too. Where on sheets do you monogram? Just somewhere along the top edge, or in the corner?

I embroidered on the right side of the sheet with the top of the monogram toward the center of the sheet centered inside the wide hem.
When you make the bed, the top sheet goes face down. Then fold top edge of sheet back over the blanket, revealing the monogram, which is now right-side up.
The other placement suggestion is: "The bottom of the monogram should be 2 inches above the wide hem, and centered from left to right."
Always learning something new... I have never made my bed this way! :)
I love the J font as well! Yeah! School colors appear to be FSU!
How did you stabilize the sheet? I am doing my first set and I am super nervous!
