We try to take all the process under control using a
notebook ,that goes everywhere, and a database .

But the people interested in join the work was growing , more than the
sells . and our prices was  "in the limits"  and we cannot drop them down more to increase sells.

 In the unit , each people involved earns the same  ; so,
their number is always growing ; in the beginning we teach all interested
partner the basics on embroidery and sewing ; by
now,  the friend teaches the friend and neighbors to neighbors ,
resulting in a fractal , constant grow.

This pricing politics and production process result in  very pretty clothing ,
handmade, cheap , and allow too cheap retail prices.

In this way we have now peoples that resell our work in 18 Brazilian states , USA and Spain.

The vivid interest from the foreigners in our work , in Ouro Preto (that
receive people of all the world), give us a hope that the  external markets
can help us to keep growing the number of partners in the actual constant .

Our 16 hours/day work actually is keep the partner's hands filled .
We are a community sprayed in the very deep inwards of the state , 
that grows by herself , if have markets. It's a virtuous circle :
new markets needs more production ; production grow , in our case , only
with more hands , that need markets.
We research and design models and embroidery stitches and colors, prospect
,buy and  organize raw materials , cut and group each model/size , design
the area to be embroidered , guide the way out trough the process by taking
and delivering  , organize, project and control production , prospect clients
and sell .

Our products are socially correct and must be ,too, ecologically correct.
The only place were the process have potential to be aggressive
against the environment is in our ranch (our Home) , were the work is
concentrated ; in all others places the scale of the work , due to the
absolutely sprayed distribution of the production process , do not have this
capacity.
The only public service present in our ranch is electricity ; all resources
must be self provided (water, sanitary devices , trash handle , transport ,etc)
We have no other way ; we feel in the skin any errors in this matter.
We NEED to work ecological, We work only with 100% cotton ; only bio-degradable in the wash,
inorganic waste sold to "EcoGeraes" , organic turned in humus. 
We don't kill animals or eat meat .

All the people involved in our work learns that the customer  is the master ; 
the completely horizontal hierarchy of the process turns this notion easily clear. 
We knows that he pays for all the
process and that our work depends on him. Every partner is your self -
evaluator, and a evaluator for the tasks prior executed in the piece by
other partner; it works fine . We have hi-quality products. 
Due to the many steps of the process, the 100 % sprayed distribution of the
people and his number , the number of models , sizes and colors we produce, and the
need of prior and post-sell work , the only way to manage our kind of
process is using a computer program. It allow physical control of the process, and give
as sub-product lots of information that  help to plain what to product ,according to each model , color and size sells.
We learn how to and make our own system , that have his beginning in 1989, and
is being updated and adapted since that. It controls costs , production
resources distribution between models and sizes, raw material stocks  use
and reposition, sales , clients , finances and produce statistics on all it .
---------
We do not produce now sophisticated crafts.
But our work  is single , hand made , pretty ,  cheap , sells easily , is very resistant , helps the rescue
and multiply of a tradition here that was vanishing and involves lots and lots
of people , rural women, in the production process..
