I just bought the pattern and fabric which will take a couple weeks to get to me, I’m so excited! However, I have a couple of questions. I’m more of a beginner and don’t have many supplies, so I’m hoping to get some recommendations. I live in the US.

1. If anyone had to buy all of the thread colors, where did you do that? Is it possible to get them all from one place or will I need to order from multiple places?

2. I’ve only ever stitched on small circle hoops, and this is obviously a much larger project. I’ve seen people on here talk about something called Q snaps I believe? Would I want to use something like that for a larger project like this and if so, what size should I get?

3. Any tips for someone who isn’t as experienced before they start this cross-stitch? I’m overly ambitious and learn quickly so I’m not too worried, just wondering if there’s any tips/tricks that people think it would be helpful to know.

Thank you!
