It would help to know what machine you have and what letters you are using. When I am monogramming on a blanket, I rotate the design on the machine from horizontal to vertical, with the bottom of the letters facing the right end of the machine. i hoop the blanket then where I want that to stitch. If I can help in any way, by doing it with my Monogram Wizard software, let me know. We Kentuckians have to stick together!
