I like the travel bag. There are the included hook pouches and my Clover Amours as well as two additional pouches for shuttles, scissors and my tatting needles and a nice lower space for yarn. These aren't complaints, just observations - the snags are smaller. than the Amours and the Shuttles are slightly smaller than the Standard Shuttles. The thread seems fine, probably the weakest part of the set. One skein has a nice sheen, but the others have a bit of fluff, which affects the gliding of the thread and is likely to curl over time. For the price it will at least be a pleasure to use for practice.
