A sample of Brazilian embroidery (always done by hand) for a question asked on the community board about whether we would ever go back to hand emb.

This is gorgeous, you should be very proud of your work! I'd love to learn silk ribbon embroidery to enhance my machine embroidery, but I don't need another craft to spend money on!

Very lovely !!!

Thanks to all of you and **** too! This is done with a variety of thin and thick, and textured rayon threads. I can't find it anywhere around here. It was developed just for Brazilian emb. I love to incorporate it into my machine emb. It gives it such a different look. If anyone knows where to find the thread I would love to know.

Very pretty. Hugs Yvonne

very nice job

Sehr schöne arbeit

Beautiful work.

It is a very elegant design. I have used some hand embroidery with machine embroidery and it gives a nice dimensional effect so some of us still will do hand embroidery.

Great job.
