How many kinds of stitches?
There are many different types of sewing, and each has different stitches. When sewing fabrics together for clothing, you would use Straight Stitch, Overcast Stitch, Hem Stitch, Zig Zag Stitch, and Overlock Stitch. There are several variations on these also. For cross stitch projects, the main stitch is Cross Stitch, but there are also Half Cross, Vertical Cross, quarter cross, and some others. For needlepoint there are hundreds of stitches. some of the main ones include outline stitch, continental stitch, satin stitch, and enough other stitches to fill a complete stitch dictionary: http://www.needlepointers.com/ShowArticles.aspx?NavID=825 Here is a list of some of the more common types of embroidery stitches, with many variations in each category; Straight stitches, back stitches, chain stitches, buttonhole stitches, feather stitches, cross stitches, knotted stitches, and couching stitches. In Knitting there are just two basic stitches - knit and purl - but they can be employed in many different ways, and instructions for knitting also contain many other terms, such as yarn-over.

Which is the good site to learn about knitting?
Answers.com and Joann.com are great for general terms. However, YouTube is full of videos to teach you hands on how to make each stitch. You should first research the different stitches and then look for videos to teach you how to execute each one. Good luck!
What does slip ther first stitch of each row starting with row 2 mean in knitting terms?
Slipping is passing a stitch from the left needle to the right one without doing anything else to it. Unless the pattern states otherwise put the right needle in the stitch as if you were purling when you transfer it. (Slipped stitch edges help your project to lie flat, you see them a lot for things like scarves.)

Is quilting easier than crocheting?
This truly is a matter of opinion. One could argue that crocheting is easier than knitting because there is only one needle/hook, as opposed to the two needles in knitting. However, knitting is simpler (there is a difference between "simple" and "easy") than crocheting, having fewer basic stitches and an easier-to-understand material. The basic stitches in crochet are easier to learn, but are also easy to mess up. The basic knitting stitches are harder to master, but once learned, are more difficult to mess up. In all, I would recommend that younger children learn to knit, and anyone over the age of 10 to do either, though crocheting might have the advantage, since it usually takes less time to do.
Can you machine embroidery on a knitted item?
You can try - In terms of whether the machine will let you or react well to it is another matter. Because you are using knitted fabric, which is stretchy as opposed to traditional woven fabric which is not, when the needle goes through the fabric, instead of puncturing it, the fabric might pull down into the bottom bed, in which case the stitches might not be as perfect as if you were using a woven fabric. If you do manage to embroider onto it, because the fabric is stretchy (whereas the stitches wont be) the texture of the knittred fabric where it has been embroidered might not look or feel that neat. If you want to embroider onto knit I suggest you research how to hand embroider onto knit. This isn't hand embroidery in the normal sence, it involves your stitches following the form of the knitted stitches (almost like over knitting). This way the fabric remains malliable.
