Beginners Brazilian Embroidery The new stitch taught is the CAST-ON stitch. In some books you will see this stitch called the cast-on buttonhole stitch. There are two methods I’ll explain. The cast-on dump stitch and the regular cast-on stitch. (If you've done any knitting - this will be a breeze!) There is also a review of the stitches from the previous lessons that are needed to do this design. Once you have completed the kit 8, why not make another and choose your own threads. The JDR #339 is the same print of this design. Also you will be ready to do Sunshine’s Treasures # 8, “Cleo” The Cast-On Flower. ST8 is a complete kit with the finishing hoop, threads, needles, beads & baubles & directions. The ST 8 is a smaller design and is great for gift giving! JDR 339 Cast-On Flower
JDR 339 Kit 8 Cast-On Flower Do you want a little more help? This book is helpful but not absolutely necessary to complete this design. It includes help for the first 12 flowers that most stitchers learn.
Do you need a hoop to stitch your project? Do you want to frame your design with a 6" Flexi-hoop? FH6 Flexi-Hoop 6" $2.25

It is important for beginners to Brazilian Embroidery to use the kits in the right sequence as building blocks. Some of the basics are not repeated in the other kits. All JDR teaching kits are featured in the book "JDR Brazilian Embroidery Book 1" by Ria Ferrell, if you need a refresher. The book is NOT necessary if the proper sequence is followed and no steps are missed. Kits with new stitches are: #1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, and 12. Kits #3, 7, 9, and 10 reinforce, expand and change the layout of the stitches already learned. Additional embroidery prints may be purchased as "Design with Directions" in ecru or white. These do not include the thread or the needles. These are not in a "teaching format" but as "directions".
