Above left, the Football Applique design would look good standing on it's own like a monogram for an athlete or sports buff. If you want to add other letters to it for a team mascot (like Bulldogs), having all of the letters in the applique design may be too overwhelming. Consider using a B from the Football Applique design set and adding ulldogs in another font, such as College Sports Outline, above right. They are similar and readable without overkill.

Fonts like Tinkertoy are easy to read and can be used for brief wording, like a child's name or teacher's name.

Baby themes, like Building Blocks, work if spelling out a single name. A child's first name, the word BABY, BOY, GIRL, or LOVE, would all work. 

Want to make a personalized baby item look even more original? Use Building Blocks for the first letter of the name and use upper case or lower case letters like Baskerville for the rest.

 

How about the beautiful Adorn Monogram? Gorgeous on it's own, it would be very hard to read if it were to spell out a word. 

Consider using a coordinating font like Marketing as the two sides of a three-letter monogram. The letters are also clean and easy enough to read that they could be used in small blocks of text, like a quilt label or a poem.

Home Decor is another strong stand-alone font. 

If you wanted to stitch a stunning family name on a wall hanging or pillow, you could combine the first letter with a clean line font like Magnolia.

The same goes for a font like Holly Berry. 

Magnolia would give it a bit of funk as would another clean font like Twentieth Century MT.
