I’ve used Sugarveil a few times before, and as a beginner, I’ve found it quite hard to get the hang of. I tried Claire Bowman’s Cake Lace, you get beautiful results like Sugarveil but it’s so much easier!!! I’ve used it for just over a month now, and it hasn’t failed me at all! I think you can get it from a few different places now, but I always get mine from the Cake Decorating company because they ship everywhere, with really good prices.
