I have been asked to embroidery the initials on seatof a 0-3 month pants. Where? Do I divided the distance between the crotch and the waistband and use that and the back seam as the center of the design? It just seems to me to be a little low. What would you suggest? What size letters?

I measured down from the waistband 1" and monogramed the first and middle initial at 3/4 of an inch and the last(middle) initial at 1". I'll try again to upload a picture tomorrow. Turned out just right.
Thank you all for the help.

Well done, sounds just about right to me. Love Chris

I have the Perfect Placement Kits from Designs in Machine Embroidery. I don't always put the design exactly where it says on the template but it is a good starting place. For a SNAPSUIT BOTTOM; it shows the bottom of a 1.25 inch high monogram should be 4.25 inches up from the crotch seam. For a BLOOMER/DIAPER COVER; it shows the bottom of a 1.25 inch High Monogram should be 3 inches up from the crotch seam. In the booklet that comes with it says, all diaper covers are not constructed the same. The best placement is in the center of the bloomer, visible when the child is sitting.

I hope this helps, jane

I just say eye ball it and go for it!

I agree with Kay. The area of the crotch is too far down.

Thank you so much for the information. This is why I love this site.

What a interesting question and one that has me puzzled. Babies spend a lot of time asleep and one sees the bottom end when changing it. So why put initials on it please? Its not something that I am aware of in the UK and one that was not asked for by either daughter for their offspring. This is what is great about Cute as we get educated about what's happening round the universe

Personally i would embroider near the waist band, quite a lot of padding down further, and you would not see it. Sandra.

Remember that there is a little booty and a big diaper in there. I center the design where I figure the (there's no delicate way to put this) separation of the cheeks start.()()

I actually did these for my granddaughters for their baby dedications at church. They are facing backward and those little bums with the applique show up nicely from the audience. Alas, they are both 3 years old and I don't remember the exact measurements.

Cute!

Hmmm, the crotch is curved under, so I would not center the design between the crotch and waistband...I would go more for where pockets would be if there were any...

That sounds about right to me. 1" - big enough to read, but not overwhelming.
