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".
