I bought mine from Aliexpress, they are really cheap to buy as they are coming from china, but they can take a while to arrive. If you buy any check their feedback, shop around all the different sellers and you will be spoilt for choice. When they arrive check to make sure all the different packs of stones are there, if any are missing contact the seller and they will send what's missing. I bought a small clip on usb light that's only small from aliexpress, it makes a big difference, it makes seeing the pattered symbols easier and they also have some great storage options for the stones too
There are great movies on Youtube giving lots of tips. Also there are 4 different ones sold at The Works.
You can do full drill - which means canvas completely covered, or partials - where only part has the diamond beads on - that's my favourite as it doesn't take so long and it makes my arms and shoulder ache but lots like the full drill as I expect the effect is better.
I get frames from charity shops.
