Visit Evening Star Designs---not only do they offer all of the supplies needed but they also have lots of help, inspiration, recommendations, and all of the flosses, ribbons, embellishements...a great place to spend time if you are (going crazy! )
for embellishement stitching i use silk floss, perle cottons, wool floss, velvet floss, watercolors flosses, and some silk ribbon-
