IHS Monogram in White Work

I just finished, laundered and ironed this altar linen. But, I had to take a picture before it goes off to my parish. Took a while to finish because I hemstitched the cloth by hand and it is 40" square.

Re: IHS Monogram in White Work

Hi,Wendi, I have that book, too. If you look at my IHS monogram on Gallery Share, I have been using 1 strand of DMC, plain. Picture isn't the greatest because of the contrast and, it is upside down, but I like the results. I'd say, the smaller, the better and use magnification to get nice, straight stitches. Anne
