This is the 'new' version of the Horror Kit, and IMO it is not worth much. I bought the original Horror Kit in the late 80s/early 90s, and the foam was about 1" thick. I backed it with some lightweight plywood, covered it with fabric, and have managed to make some bookmarks with it. I don't care much for it, though, because it's flat.
I saw the 'new' version of this kit in 2003 when our group took beginner bobbin lace lessons. Two of the gals got 'such a deal' and ordered this kit. The foam is now about 1/4" thick, and it couldn't hold a pin straight. It was truly awful, and they ended up borrowing pillows from the instructor. The bobbins are useable, but 1/4" foam with a cardboard frame is not at all acceptable. It really is a shame, it is not a good introduction to lace at all.
