You’ll need the following things to start embroidery: scissors, floss, fabric, a needle, a removable marker, and an embroidery hoop. Among all, the fabric and needle predominate and should be chosen as per suitability. In other words, not all needles and fabrics go with all stitches; there are a few exceptions, for example, the bullion knot and the cast-on stitch can be created with the Milliners needle only.
