A special thank you to all the students in the B.E. 101 class.  Your questions have made me become more thorough in explaining techniques.  As of April 4, 2007 there are 510 members of the BE 101 tutorial class.   You wanted a printable copy – I know this is more than you asked for!  The BE students have been my guiding force!

Brazilian Embroidery 101 is a step-by-step manual for learning and teaching Brazilian Embroidery.

The instruction manual strives to provide the beginner and even the more experienced stitcher with the ultimate step-by-step reference for the most-used beginning, intermediate and advanced Brazilian Embroidery stitch techniques.  Included are leaf techniques and ideas.  “Helpful hints” have been added along the way to guide you through your stitching.

Providing you with over fifty gorgeous flowers and a buzzy bumblebee to help you learn the Brazilian Dimensional Embroidery techniques. Instructions for all of the flowers featured on the cover can be found inside.  Also included are some buds and filler flowers that you can add to enhance your stitching. The flower instructions are arranged from beginner stitches progressively on to the next step; each flower building on what you learned from the one before.

Large graphics have been provided to help those who learn better with pictures.

Although the directions are “Brazilian Embroidery” and are written for using “Z” twist rayon threads, other threads can be used for a dimensional masterpiece.

The Sunshine’s Valentine, on the cover was developed to provide you with an embroidery design that all stitchers will enjoy completing. The heart has an 8½” X 9” stitching area.  The suggested mat opening size: 11” x 17”. The fabric that you need should be about 15” x 20”.
Thread list for the heart as shown: (but please feel free to choose your own colors)
If you plan using exactly the same colors you will find that the "Thread packet" above is 10% cheaper than purchasing them separately.
