By the early 1990’s, B.E. was being done on all
continents except Antartica.
B.E. is recognized internationally as a unique type of
embroidery.

It is the threads that make Brazilian Embroidery unique.
B.E. threads are z-twist Rayon threads.
These threads have a vibrancy and luster not found in other types of
embroidery threads.Z-Twist S-Twist

These beautiful threads are not stranded, but come in
different weights and textures.
They are usually ‘straightened’ before being
used.
The Z-Twist only matters on three stitches – the Stem Stitch, the Outline Stitch,
and the Bullion StitchCopyright BDEIG 2015

Because it is washable, B.E. is great on
clothing.
