More Fun with Singer Deluxe Monogrammer


UPDATE: I have 23 letters now, all except Q, U, and X, so I'll reveal my method.  I went on ebay and bought a monogrammer set that had some of the letters I needed.  Then I resold it with any cams I had that were duplicates.  Rinse and repeat until I had all the letters I needed.  

Yes, I marked my cams with a Sharpie, otherwise it is impossible to find the one you want.

You start out by installing the feed cover plate and then the attachment.  While the Singer Slant-O-Matics have an elevated throat plate to bypass the feed dogs for FM stitching, it just doesn't work with the monogrammer (I'm not sure why, but take my word for it.)



You insert the plastic letter template (flat piece sticking out on the left) and crank it in, then you use the plastic letter guide to show you where to begin stitching.

Then off you go!


This is a fantastic attachment that makes spectacular monograms.   Here are a few samples:

  1. That is fascinating! I think your wallet looks nice. Would this monogrammer work on a 301?

  2. Unfortunately it won't work on the 301. Unlike the automatic buttonholer, which moves the fabric back and forth to form the satin stitch, this attachment relies on the machine to do the satin stitch and only moves the fabric in the shape of the letter - so it needs a zz machine. I guess theoretically you could put it on the 301 and it would make a straight line outline of the letter but I never tried that.
