JDR Kit 9 (Print # 325) Japanese Violets
In this lesson you will learn how to increase the number of wraps in a bullion to 37, which requires some techniques learned mostly through practice. There is a bullion stitch review that will help you.
When you have completed the kit 9, why not make another and choose your own threads. The JDR #325 is the same print of this design. You will also be ready to do Sunshine’s Treasures # 9, “Vi” The Japanese Violet. ST9 is a complete kit with the finishing hoop, threads, needles, beads & baubles & directions. The ST 9 is a smaller design and is great for gift giving!

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".
