In addition, one of our most-esteemed members attempted to warn everyone via her website and was threatened with a lawsuit. So much for Liz's suggestion to outlaw the item. Not sure who supplies everyone, but the business which threatened and may be the wholesale distributor is located in California. They've done a lot of good for lace, but they've lost my business because of their determination to dump this Horror Kit on new lacemakers. It is a matter of great sadness that esteemed and knowledgable lace experts have been unable to convince the supplier to take this monster off the market. One thing we can do is inform businesses who retail the Horror Kit, like the one on eBay. I do this each time I place an order of any kind from a supplier who has the Horror Kit in their catalog. By the way, I went to look at eBay, and the item seems to have been withdrawn??
