I think someone (perhaps a number of people!) should write to them and
correct a few things. For instance, The Guild's Summer School isn't
necessarily the best starting point for an absolute beginner - we've now
got weekly classes at The Hollies for beginners! Sounds as if it might
have been written by a non-lacemaker, or someone promoting the kit, and
they've asked a few key people for comments and then cobbled together
what they had. The answers given, of course, depend very much on the
questions asked, and would then have been edited to fit.
Having spoken to House of Crafts at a trade show, they can't see what is
wrong with their kit, as they sell so many of them... ! Unfortunately I
doubt many of the disappointed write to them to complain.

In Issue 56, February of 2014 of "Sew - Home and Style" there?s a 3-page
article about lace (starts on page 28) entitled ?Laced in History?.
It?s a UK publication and therefore only deals with the UK.
I wasn?t
impressed, but I think I?d probably be wasting my time pointing out to
them what they?ve omitted in their suggestions on how to get started,
and especially telling them how awful the House of Crafts kit is.
