12 Beginners Brazilian Embroidery 
Instruction  Designs or Kits        

These 12 Beginners Brazilian Embroidery Instruction kits include printed, CREAM, poly/cotton fabric, called "Trigger" or "Blazer Poplin",  in which the designs have been printed with water soluble ink. The intended finished size is 6" x 6". Each kit also includes the EdMar threads, complete teaching instructions, and milliners needles #3, 5, 7 or darner- depending on the weight of the thread used. 

In these Brazilian embroidery teaching kits, we work with EdMar 100% rayon Z Twist Thread.  
Boucle` (a crinkly type of thread in kit #1), 
Nova  (an extra heavy weight in kit #6, 
Lola  (heavy weight thread in most kits),
Iris  (medium weight in kits 2, 4, 5, 11), and
Glory  (fine weight in all kits).

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 CREAM or WHITE.  These do not include the thread or the needles.  These are not in a "teaching format" but as "directions". The corresponding  "Design" numbers are listed below the kit number.

The following is a listing of the Brazilian Embroidery Beginners Teaching Kits.

The Teaching Kits are available in CREAM and WHITE
