eye ball ISO Embroidery Floss & Hoop

I'm just starting out and have none. I bought this set of patterns, and my dd is dying for me to stitch something for her (she LOVEs veggies). I don't have a small hoop (just a giant one for quilting), or any floss. Would like to get several colors of floss from one person if possible. Here is the link to the iron-ons I bought:

SUBLIME STITCHING - I Luv Veggies

Have Pay Pal or can trade. TIA

it might be cheaper to pick them up locally. They're very inexpensive and might not be worth the cost of shipping.

Michaels has floss on sale 4/$1 and a hoop is around $1 or $2 (depending on if you want wood or plastic). You could have all you'd need for $5 (or less).

The bigger hoops cost a little more but I wouldn't get any bigger than 6" or 7". I almost always use a 6" hoop and just move it around as needed. Bigger is more cumbersome to hold and work with.

I totally agree! Much cheaper. Even Walmart has floss and wooden hoops.

I did see this: purl : products : accessories + notions list which sparked my interest.
