These monogram letters will take your projects up a notch by embellishing them with applique. Printable letters make applique easy!
What is Applique?
Pieces of decorative fabric are attached to another piece of fabric with decorative stitching. I made one of these monogrammed totes for a little birthday gift and it was quick and easy. You can even include a coordinating crayon roll.
I purchased the totes awhile ago (okay years ago and found them in the “great craft room clean-up”). Find similar totes at large craft stores. Use this machine applique technique to embellish t-shirts, onesies for babies, aprons etc. No worries if you can’t find a premade tote bag. I have a step by step tote bag tutorial. Making a tote is a super easy sewing project.
Monogram Letter Supplies
- Lightweight Heat n’ Bond Lite’
- something to applique, a tote is used in this project
- fabric
- iron
- sewing machine
- thread
- scissors
- pencil or pen
- printer and paper to print the templates
- printable letters templates
Applique Step by Step
It just a few easy steps you can embellish a variety of projects. You won’t believe how easy it is! I use interfacing to make monogramming simple. HeatnBond lite is an two-sided iron-on interfacing that has a paper backing on one side.

Printable Alphabet Letters
You can use any shape but I used these printable letters. Each link below has the upper and lowercase letter. Click, download and print the free printable alphabet stencils templates. They are perfect to cut out for a template. It makes tracing letters a breeze.
Types of machine applique
Here are three different types of applique that you can use to monogram your projects with these letters.
Straight Stitch Applique
For this project, I am using a technique called straight stitch applique. It is the simplest method and easily dressed up any project. Once washed the edges of the fray can fray giving texture and interest. No worries if you don’t like that I show you what product to use to prevent fraying below. Another example of the straight stitch without interfacing is on this birthday hat.
Zig Zag Applique
These monogram letters could also be zig-zag appliques. This technique keeps the edge of the fabric from fraying. The stitch length on the sewing machine can be adjusted to sew a wide zigzag or close together to make a satin stitch.
Reverse Applique
I think reverse applique gives a wow. I think it is especially great for felt projects. You can see how I used reverse applique for this birthday crown.
How to machine applique monogram letters
Trace your letter onto the paper (smooth) side of the HeatnBond Lite. The letter must be reversed. Following the HeatnBond instructions, iron it to the wrong side of the fabric that you want to applique to the tote.
Cut out the letter and peel off the paper.
There is now adhesive on the back (wrong) side of the letter. Flip the letter over and it is ready to go.
Again following package instructions, iron your letter to the tote bag. Keep the letter towards the top so you are able to easily sew with the sewing machine.
Machine stitch around the letter. You can also hand stitch around the letter. A blanket stitch looks cute!
I used fray check around the edges to keep the fabric from fraying. You might decide to let the edges fray—–it looks good too!
Finished! It is so quick and you have a really useful gift. These monogram letters could be used to monogram towels, shirts, blankets. The possibilities are endless.
I hope you will give it a try. Let me know if you have any questions.
I’m trying to download the printable letters from your applique monogram post but I can’t. Is it possible for you to send to my email. Thanks
You have made it so easy to understand how to reverse your letter with the heat n lite. I could not figure it out. I wish I could print the free letters.
These alphabet letter sand numbers are exactly what I am looking for. Thank you. I love your website/blog and have signed up for your emails. Thanks for sharing your fun and great ideas.
Thanks so much Lora!
First attempt using ancient iron-on without original markings- ironing cloth with all the letters firmly stuck to it (moral – try just one first!!).
Second attempt, fantastic grandson’s name looking impressive. Many thanks.
P.s. do you want photos?
Yes, Susan please email me photos!
very useful information ….. i will be using these patterns….
Is there anyway to print the whole alphabet? I had to keep cancelling to then select the next letter….it’s taking AGES
Thought this was excellent I am new to applica so it was a great help
Thank you for sharing the monograms and tutorials!
Just came across your site, Cindy, and love it. I was searching for letter patterns that I could print off to use. I did print them off, thank you. I have been sewing all of my life. In fact, I work at Joann Fabrics in Tulsa. I came across an idea recently that I want to share with you, unless you already know about it. It’s called a “Cookie Plate Crumb Catcher.” Basically, it is small place mat for a child. They used a quilt block but I think it would be neat to use a fun print for the mat and/or the letter. Again, thank you for sharing in your site.
Thanks so much, these are great and have so much personality.
Thanks Judy! I am so glad you like the monogram letters.
Thanks for sharing these!
Great letters I will use them for a bunting for my market stall whish is called home sewn by Suzie M. Australia
I cannot find where I download these letters
Rena, look at the list under printable applique letters. Each letter is a link. Click on that link and the letter should open them up and print. Please let me know if you need help.
Do you have the symbols. I need an apostrophe.
Great site, getting ready to monogram applique

This is great! I’ve made two tote bags for my daughter for two years of preschool and when she goes to Kindergarten, I want to fancy-up : ) a canvas tote bag for her. This will be perfect. Thanks for the idea.
Oh these are great!I want to spell out my nieces entire name on a fabric backing and then frame it for her bedroom! I’d take a ‘ y ‘ when you get a chance… all the other letters are there already (maddy). Thanks for these clever ideas.
It looks like you’ll be doing the entire alphabet eventually — tee hee — but I’d like to request a “U” and an “R” for some projects I have in mind. Thanks for doing all the work and sharing it. I love this idea and see lots of applications (excuse the pun) for it.
Nice job. Thanks for taking the time to share with us.
HOW CUTE!!! I had no idea how to do that till now! Thank you!
oh my goodness, i think this is the best tutorial for applique i have seen! very straight forward and basic, THANK YOU!!! i would love to see F and R. many blessings
Very easy to do, I must try this for my daughter’s jean purse I’m making for her birthday! Thanks for the idea!
Cute, cute! A and E would be great 🙂 Also, how did you sew all the way around w/o being able to turn the bag completely around at the bottom? Does that make sense? I guess I just need to try it….I’ve wanted to embellish my girls’ jeans before, but just couldn’t figure out how on earth I’d work with a skinny jean leg on the sewing machine when it was so narrow. The bag doesn’t have an opening on the bottom so I’m not sure how I’d manage to sew all the way around so neatly, if at all…can you tell I’m a fairly novice sewer? Thanks!
Thank you your things are wonderful, can we have a P?
Looks absolutely darling! Also looks simple enough for me to try…I’m nervous about anything sewing related. Maybe I’ll try!
Thank you so much! I did my first applique right before Christmas and had the most difficult time finding a letter that I liked that wasn’t too difficult to stitch around. Thanks for providing these! I will most definitely use them in the future.
Ah, I think I can do this!!
Thanks for sharing.
Loving it! I am so enjoying your site! We’re moving back to a town that has Hobby Lobby, oh how I have missed that store!
WalMart does still carry the bags and actually has a lot more choices than they used to. Hobby Lobby will also put their bags 1/2 off quite often. Would work on aprons too.
LOVE< LOVE, LOVE this! I’m bookmarking this page for when I get time!! How about K and M?
Wonderful! Could you post a D, J, & K please.
I like your font and anytime you can cut your work (enen be a few minutes) it’s a blessing.
I love the material you use for the monogram!
This is a cute project that I am sure my youngest daughter would love as well.
It just may have to be a mommy and daughter weekend coming up.
Thanks for sharing!
Hey there
I love your cute project ideas, I would see myself spending some money at JoAnn’s Fabric store after visiting your blog. I’d love to have the letters S and J please.
E, J and K please!!!
Love , love . love your blog. So many fabulous ideas and I use them all the time. I especially love your paper crafts and cones. How was this years Valentines party. I can’t wait to see the pics!
Cute stuff, as per usual! Thanks!
I love your site! I have identical twin grandsons that are having their “1st” birthday party on Satureday. I was planning on making them inital t shirts so people can tell them apart. How lucky to pop in today and see this post! I would love the letter J for Jace, and a Q for Quinn! Thanks so much!
Love this — Could I have a T for my goddaugher and an E for my daughter. Thank you for sharing!

BTW – I just LOVE your blog and have made SEVERAL ideas from your site!
Love the bag! I also have some I purchased about a year ago. They were on clearence and I thought oh, I’ll use this for something! I would like to get the letter L, if possible? Thanks!

Wow I love all you great ideas! I’m not a crafty person, but I love to try! Thank you for all the ideas, and SIMPLE directions! I love reading your blog!!! I would love an H, L, and an O. Thank you again so much!!!
Lovely and super easy project!!!! Love it!
Thanks for sharing the idea!
So cute! Really fresh and crisp. I love the dotted fabric!
I’ve been going through a phase of personalizing things with embroidery, applique, and other methods (including some totes you can see on my blog!) so this one hits close to home. Thanks for sharing!
Very cute! I’ll take a letter M please! Love that font choice.
I am not a seamstress BUT I do think I could tackle this project! You gave great directions and it seems pretty easy to do. I’d love to have A for Anna. Thanks for sharing.
Fabulous idea! Love it! Thanks for sharing.
Not to mention seemingly simple too! By the looks of it, I would say my oldest daughter (8) would be able to help with this project. Thanks for sharing it!
Those look fun, and the best thing about buying something and then forgetting about it for years is that now it’s stash, and using it has become a virtuous thing!
I use a simple zig-zag stitch for appliques (I call it a cheater’s satin stitch!) and it works beautifully, and even lasts through all the laundering that the item may have to endure. I do love the effect that the machine stitch offers, too! Thanks for sharing!
Also, your readers will have a plethora of fonts if they just open up their Word program, type a letter, pick a font, enlarge the letter and print it out!
