Hello, last week I thought about another attempt of getting a lace design program for my laptop. I am still working with Windows XP.
I am teaching once a week at a local school 8 afternoons. Occationally I would like to draw up easy braid patterns for the group. But since I am always short of time, I am thinking of drawing some motifs just to print out, whenever needed. Is this possible using the actural version of Lace 2000 or newer? Or is this program rather suitable for torchon lace patterns. I would also like to include some colourcode diagrams in my notes for the students. Is that possible in this program. And where can I get it?
