The Add Border dialog offers a list of predefined border shapes. You can also create your own to add to the library. These can be saved to the default ‘Borders’ set or one of your own creation. The object used to create a custom border can be a filled closed shape, or a closed shape with a single run outline. The custom border will use satin outline by default. This can be changed once the border is selected in the Monogramming dialog.
Tip Like borders, you can create your own ornament patterns for use in monograms using the Create Pattern tool.
