History of Monogramming
The first use of monogramming was in Ancient Greece (350 BC). Primarily, it was only available for aristocrats and certain types of royalty. Rather than linens, these embroideries were applied to coins and other documents as a sign of refinement and social class.
In the modern day, not only is monogramming available for anyone regardless of social class, but it is now very common to see it in clothes, textiles, and especially luxury linens. Typically, embroidered linens are used for events, such as weddings, birthdays, or even holidays.

Why Are Three-Letter Monograms So Common?
If you’ve been looking for a monogrammed bed or bath sheet, chances are that you’ve seen most monogrammed products tend to contain 3 letters. Because they are generally held for special occasions, the most common type of design is the initials of the person you wish to gift monogrammed linens to.
Another example of three-letter monogramming is shared stitching for married couples. This monogram style involves placing a large design of the couple’s shared last initial in between their first initials. There are even two-letter designs for non-married couples you can choose that simply incorporate the first initials of their last names.
Regardless of how many initials you wish to use for your order or what design you want to monogram, our staff here at Pioneer Linens can help you get the custom design you’re dreaming about.
How Monogram Is Made in the Modern Day
Monogram designs on bed linens and bath towels used to be done entirely by hand or by sewing machine; thankfully, stitching has come a very long way. When you select a design with Pioneer Linens or Matouk, that digital design is later transferred to an embroidery machine that gets it done perfectly every time. Most monogram makers even allow you to preview the design on the desired product so you’ll know how the final product should look.
