That's what I did. I bought supplies for my first project, then my second and so on and before I knew it I had quite a collection. Then I just bought what I didn't have - now I keep a supply of all DMC colours.

That will get you started, yes.

I don't think there really can be a definitive starters guide to getting started - I'd say pick a simple project and buy what you need for that to begin with. Do that for a few projects (keep them relatively small) and when you're ready to tackle your first big project, you should know by then what sort of things you want to buy!

Is the floss i bought *? Should i get DMC instead? It seemed better to get 36 packs for around $4 instead of 0.40 each for tons of differnet colors idk which i would need lol

Honestly, just for starting out, what you've bought is fine. When you get to bigger projects you want to keep/sell/give as gifts, DMC is a wonderful investment. Yeah, it's a bit pricey, but, as with most things, you get what you pay for.
