This Cross Stich Stamped Quilt is a complete kit that comes with all the threads and 1 needle. You have to supply your own embroidery hoop. A single thread is made up of 6 stands. Depending on the stich, it may require 2 or 3 strands, and in some cases you may need one strand of one colour and two strands of another colour (full instructions are given). A review on a different product noted there was a wrinkle in the fabric when it was stamped with the pattern. This product had no such defect. Not included in the kit, a silk blanket edging and a polar fleece backing creates a beautiful keepsake. The stamped pattern is erased on its first wash.
