    The Wonderful World of Brazilian Embroidery And Why You May Want to Know More The number one thing you should know is that if you know how to do surface embroidery, you already know how to do Brazilian Embroidery! Stitched by a Novice Brazilian Embroider Copyright BDEIG 2015 Brazilian Embroidery started in Brazil (but I bet you knew that) in the 1960’s Copyright BDEIG 2015 By the early 1990’s, B.E. was being done on all continents except Antartica. B.E. is recognized internationally as a unique type of embroidery. Copyright BDEIG 2015 It is the threads that make Brazilian Embroidery unique. B.E. threads are z-twist Rayon threads. These threads have a vibrancy and luster not found in other types of embroidery threads. Z-Twist S-Twist Copyright BDEIG 2015 These beautiful threads are not stranded, but come in different weights and textures. They are usually ‘straightened’ before being used. The Z-Twist only matters on three stitches – the Stem Stitch, the Outline Stitch, and the Bullion Stitch Copyright BDEIG 2015 Because it is washable, B.E. is great on clothing. Copyright BDEIG 2015 Individual designs can become quilt blocks. Copyright BDEIG 2015 B. E. is a great embellishment for Crazy Quilts .

  • Basic Stitches and Information for Brazilian Embroidery
    Basic Stitches and Information for Brazilian Embroidery What is Brazilian Embroidery? Why is this dimensional needlework known as Brazil- ian embroidery? Because the rayon threads used were originally manufactured in Brazil and the dimen- sional techniques using them, although used for cen- turies in Europe, came to us along with the thread from Brazil. These rayon threads are manufactured in shaded and variegated colors as well as solids. Now the threads are manufactured here in the United States by EdMar Co.

  • What Is Brazilian Embroidery? So Many Ask What Is the Difference Between Brazilian Embroidery and Surface Embroidery
    Information presented by “Sunshine” of JDR Brazilian Elegance What is Brazilian Embroidery? So many ask what is the difference between Brazilian Embroidery and surface embroidery. The following is the definition according to the BDEIG. – Brazilian Dimensional Embroidery International Guild. Brazilian Embroidery is hand stitchery done predominantly with dimensional stitches using the Z-twisted rayon threads; with the original Fine Growth/Field Flowers encouraged. Brazilian Embroidery is a wonderful 3 dimensional stitchery technique that can be used alone to create wonderful pictures, pillows, linens, wearable art, personal accessories and what ever else your needle can stitch through. Other stitching projects can be "spruced up" with the addition of some 3 dimensional flowers. Quilts can be embellished with the wonderful Brazilian stitches. Absolutely beautiful floral sprays can be added to clothing and you won't have to worry about the fibers withstanding the frequent washing. "Brazilian threads" are 100% rayon Z-twist threads that withstand even boiling water. Brazilian Embroidery, raised embroidery can be incorporated into your Cross Stitch, Hardanger, Silk Ribbon Embroidery, Quilting, Craft Projects and other Embroidery, Clothing Embellishments and Other Stitching techniques. Embroidery, in its most basic terms, has been with us since the beginning of civilization. Over the centuries, basic stitches have evolved into the more complex and elaborate needleworks we know today. Embroidery of any kind uses stitches known and used for hundreds of years in countless ways and for many different purposes. Brazilian Dimensional Embroidery is no exception. The difference is that it doesn't limit itself to specific stitches: it uses stitches from all types of needlework.
