Hi Spiders - I'm feeling like a member of the "Lace Kit Police" right now. I spotted another of those awful kits on eBay... item number 110137135234, and wrote to the seller, advising them that while they stated that bobbin lace is "surprisingly simple" and that this kit was an excellent way to learn, I felt that they had been misinformed. I explained that lacemakers had been trying for years to persuade Lacis to stop selling this kit, and that I am convinced that making money is all that concerns the company.
I got a response telling me, in essence, to tell it to Lacis. I responded to that, saying that I had initailly assumed that their motives were good, but if they aren't interested in truthfully describing what they're selling, then their reputation as a vendor has come into question. So thought I'd pass the item number on to you so you can see who NOT to deal with!! Or even better - who to write to in complaint!! (You can hide your email address... I may be the "Lace Kit Police", but I'm not an total idiot!!) If 100 lacemakers stormed his/her mailbox, it could be a wake-up call.
