Okay, so this is the question I get more than any other: "How do I add a name to my monogram?" Whatever program you use, I've got you. Find yours below and follow along.
The idea is the same in every program. You put the name across the monogram, then join (weld, unite) them into one shape so it cuts as a single piece.
