Critics Review
This book is extremely well laid out, easy to follow and tells you everything you need to know. All the steps in the book have excellent diagrams, clear instructions and photographs of the finished lace with close-ups where needed to show the working. It is certainly a book that will not just be kept on the shelf, but be much used and referred to. – Diana Pickford * SEW Region Magazine *
