Edmar Co. - Geron Daisy 5106

Brazilian embroidery is known for its intricate and dimensional stitches. The Geron Daisy, a beautiful flower pattern often featured in this type of embroidery, highlights the technique's three-dimensional qualities. Here's a general overview of how you might approach creating a Geron Daisy in Brazilian embroidery:

Materials Needed:

• Fabric: Choose a tightly woven fabric suitable for embroidery.
• Embroidery hoop: To keep the fabric taut.
• Threads: Rayon or polyester embroidery threads, as they have a nice sheen and are commonly used in Brazilian embroidery.
• Needles: Milliner's needles or chenille needles, which are good for bullion stitches.
• Scissors: For cutting threads.
• Pattern: A Geron Daisy pattern for tracing onto the fabric.

Basic Steps:

1. Prepare Your Fabric:

   • Secure the fabric in an embroidery hoop.
   • Transfer the Geron Daisy pattern onto the fabric using a water-soluble pen or light pencil.

2. Select Your Threads:

   • Choose thread colors that match the natural shades of a daisy (white, yellow, green) or get creative with different colors.

3. Begin with the Center of the Daisy:

   • Use French knots or bullion knots to create the daisy's center. This provides a textured and raised effect.

4. Create the Petals:

   • Use long and short stitches, detached buttonhole stitches, or bullion stitches for the petals. These stitches give the petals their characteristic 3D look.
   • Work each petal one by one, ensuring they have a consistent size and shape.

5. Add Leaves and Stems:

   • Use stem stitches for the stem.
   • For the leaves, you can use leaf stitch, satin stitch, or any other preferred leaf stitch to give them dimension.

6. Finishing Touches:

   • Fill in any remaining details, like additional leaves or small buds, using various embroidery stitches.

7. Secure the Threads:

   • Ensure all threads are securely fastened at the back of the fabric to prevent unraveling.

8. Remove the Pattern Tracing:

   • If you used a water-soluble pen, lightly dampen the fabric to remove the marks.

Tips for Success:

• Practice your stitches: Before starting on your main fabric, practice the different stitches on a scrap piece of fabric.
• Thread tension: Keep an even tension on your threads to maintain uniform stitches.
• Experiment with colors: While traditional daisy colors are always beautiful, don't hesitate to use vibrant and unconventional colors to make your piece unique.
