No such thing as a silly question when you want to learn and especially when you are new to a great adventure. I know there are lots of them out there but right now I can't remember right off hand. Have you tried googling embroidery blanks? I got a great price on plane terry bibs at a dept store last yr to use for embroidery. I'm hoping to do up some kitchen towels for Christmas. Right now I'm making matching checkbook covers, eyeglass covers and bookmards w/inserted lace and a couple are also getting organizer covers and a Nook cover. Have fun with your embroidery machine; it's addictive.
