Welcome to Brazilian Embroidery, also known as Three-Dimensional Embroidery. The beautiful dimensional technique is done by using highly twisted rayon thread from Brazil. Petals of flowers are created by wrapping thread around the needle, casting on to the needle, or making bars of thread and putting loops on the bars, thus allowing the petals to stand up and away from the surface of the fabric. For ages 16 and up. Registration required.
