Here’s a supplies list to get you started:
• Embroidery hoops. Hoops are available all sizes, from just a couple of inches in diameter to over a foot.
• Thread (aka floss). The DMC brand is industry standard (it’s been around since 1746), and that they have a really loyal following. It’s easy to see why—a skein is less than a dollar and they have a ton of colors available.
• Scissors. Embroidery scissors are small (palm-sized) and just sharp enough to trim thread.
• Needles. Needles often are available packs with a variety of sizes. Depending on the sort of cloth you’re sewing on, some needles will work better than others.

• Fabric. The possibilities are apparently endless when it involves sewing. If you’re trying to find an area to start out , try a cloth that’s pure cotton. Make sure that it doesn’t have stretch (like you would possibly find in cotton blends) which its weave isn’t too loose.
• Plastic bobbins. These are a lifesaver, especially if you have a lot of thread. Before you start stitching with a thread, write the color on one among these bobbins then wind it round the plastic piece. That way, when you run out of thread, you’ll know what type of skein to buy!
• Thread organizer. Store your thread, accompaniments, and other supplies in one among these handy bins.
