For those that use a Mac and are still looking for an alternative to the expensive Adobe Illustrator as a vector drawing program for your designs, I might have found something. I for one would rather spend those 800 $ for bobbins, pins and threads.
The application is called "EazyDraw" and has quite a lot of features that you only find in professional CAD progams. It used to be 99 $ for the download version (and still costs that much from their website) - and now I found it for 11,99 Euros in the new App Store (prolly 14,99 $ in the US). Just had a short look into it and it seems quite capable and promising. This might really be an alternative to the "big players" and certainly worth a try for that price - the learning curve might be quite steep though, there's a 350 page manual included ... I used Intaglio up to now - not bad but it is more of a desktop publishing program and crashes quite often on me. No connection to the makers of this app - I just wanted to let you know what might be a real snip (or bargain for the non-Europeans ;-) ).
