I think what is holding me back from buying one is the fact that I hear often enough that the directions are not always clear and I hear it from experienced quilters who have tried them at one time or another.
I have yet to hear anyone who has used a kit say they loved it and it was easy to use and clear and consise instructions.
I have done several kits and I enjoy them most of the time. I have only had one that was a little short on fabric so I had to pinch hit and it all turned out fine in the end. I do have to say that I have run into several patterns (no fabric included) that were difficult or incorrect at times too so it isn't just a problem with kits. Find a small one and give it a try. I love them when I have an obligatation that I need to put together in hurry. They save me the time of having to find and match fabrics when time is short.
