I've got request from bride to put her initials on her veil. Any one done this? Where do you place them? What size? Think I'll be able to do it with my ULT2001?

I would probably put them on the very bottom, maybe in the center, and very small. I would also use a layer of water-soluble stabilizer on the top and bottom, and use the same thread in the bobbin as the top.

I was surprised to find out the veil is short. It's a very elaborate dress but extremely simple veil. She wanted them at about where it hit her elbow. Of course I did white on white. I'm not sure I like them but there they are. I did a monogram of her 3 initital. The mother was with her and both said that's what they wanted - so that's what they got!

That's what matters is that she likes it! Congrats!
