Brazilian Embroidery is hand stitchery done predominantly with dimensional stitches using the Z-twisted rayon threads. Although it is man-made, rayon is not a synthetic fiber but regenerated natural fiber (cellulosic material, generally wood pulp). Rayon, a silk-like material, has long been the preferred thread for this style of embroidery because of its sheen and smoothness . Most stitches, especially bullions (which are used extensively for their dimensional effect), are much easier to make because of the rayon thread’s smooth texture.
