I've been playing with my CD this morning. I have just the first CD without
the techniques one, but that wouldn't make any difference to my opinion.
The instruction and projects videos seem to be made with a handheld
camcorder in their living room - very amateurish. The quality of the actual
lace scans and printouts is very poor and they donlt look like lace when
printed - I've got much better result scanning my own lace or using pictures
of lace from out of copyright books - look at the Digital Archive of
Documernts Rekated to Lace which Tess and the Professor spent so much time
compiling http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html#books.
Having given you a selection of 'laces' - small, medium and large borders,
circles, corners, curves, motifs, panels and squares, you can change the
size or change the colour of the lace or the background and print it to cut
out and use. You can print it with the pattern repeated down the page, but
you can't tile it or do anything else. I can already do all of that in any
graphics progam. I only paid GBP 4.99 for mine, and I don't think it was
worth even that. If I can get it to accept other graphics (which so far it
hasn't), it might be worth having for a quick resize and colour change, but
that's all.
I have other cardmaking CDs, which I do think were worth the money because
of the layout and printing options they have, but this one - no.
This is only my opinion, others might think differently.
