Tell me, are you a monogrammer? Living in California, monograms are a bit of a rarity around here, but I think they’re a super fun way to personalize…well, EVERYTHING!

This month’s Totally Free SVG collection is all about monograms, and we’re bringing you SIXTEEN Free Monogram SVG files to use with your Cricut or Silhouette cutting machine (or any other machine/device that uses SVG files!

How to Make a Monogram in Cricut Design Space

To begin creating your monogram, open up the Cricut Design Space software program and upload the Apple Monogram Frame SVG file (available below). If you need help, click here to learn How to Upload an SVG File in Cricut Design Space!

Insert three different text boxes for your monogram initials. Monograms are generally arranged in first, last, and middle initial order, so if your name is Sarah Grace Vaughn, your monogram would read SVG.

For this monogram, I used the Round Monogram font which is available as a free download for personal use. The font download actually consists of three different fonts – a left, center, and right version of each letter.

Place the large center monogram initial (last name) in the center of the monogram frame and size to fit (leave a small border between the letters and the edge of the frame). Select the apple and the letter and use the “Center Horizontally” function to center both objects.

Next, size and place the other two initials. Select both text layers and use the “Center Vertically” function to make sure they are lined up and evenly spaced.

Now, even though everything looks good on the screen here, there’s one more crucial step to the process!

If you were to click “Make It” at this point in the process, your monogram initials would appear out of order on the cutting mat and wouldn’t cut as one single and properly spaced design element.

For the design to cut properly, you need to select all three of the text layers and choose to either Attach or Weld them using the function buttons on the bottom right.

Let me briefly explain the difference and why you’d want to use one of those functions over the other:

If you are making one single monogram that will not require any additional changes, Welding all three text layers together will combine your monogram text elements into one single layer. This welded monogram design is no longer editable as text (i.e. you won’t be able to change that V to a W now), but you may move, re-size, and re-color it as desired.

If you are making more than one monogram and want to retain the ability to edit your monogram initials as text, the Attach function is what you will want to use.

Selecting all of the text layers and Attaching them allows them to remain editable; however, when it comes time to click “Make It” and cut your design, the software will group and cut them as positioned.

Regardless of whether you choose to Weld or Attach your text layers, both options will result in the proper alignment of the letters on the cutting mat.
