Ninya is somewhat active on the Elizabethan Costume group on FB, depending on their production schedule. They are working on another book for Tudor & Stuart children, so she's been more quiet unless named. http://www.facebook.com/groups/29374273995/ It is a very active group and has researchers and costumers from all over, usually focused on the research info to share, but also has some more casual costumers as well. We have discussed aspects of the books, but we discuss all sorts of books, patterns, latest research, portraits, and other info. We are known as the EC Bees, btw, for how quickly we tend to find answers to questions, and how we share that info. It is a very friendly group.
The patterns, at least the initial sets, are pretty much blow-ups of their book patterns and instructions. The paper is high quality, as I spilled pickle juice and had no problems with the pattern paper, although the cover and instructions got messed up. IMO, I think if you hate blowing up patterns they are worth getting, depending on your own preferences and skills. I'm in the middle of something, but will try to understand and answer your other question as soon as I can.
