Hi Jean, and all,
I have my copy of Knipling since 2002 with an update in 2009. I often
work with it alternating with Lace RXP, depending the type of lace I am
designing. My OS Windows 7.
I think that while RXP is very good for designing geometric laces,
Knipling is excellent to work with braids (parallel lines), and all
designs based on circles and circumferences, for example fans or round
pieces.
"Lace 8" (an update of RXP), I have to admit that has progressed a lot
with respect the previous RXP, but only in so far as tools in general,
printing and predetermined shapes, but not the "heart" of the software:
its mathematical basis
From my own experience, the Knipling software is constructed on a more
mathematical basis than RXP It is possible to play with round and oval
pieces, working on a more customized grids. These customizations require
more knowledge of geometry and maths and it takes more time to be
familiar with it, however once mastered the result is excellent.
I have no relation with any of both suppliers, I only speaks from my own
experience.
Kind regards
Carolina

In December 2005 I bought a Windows version (says it's for Windows 98 or
newer, but wouldn't like to say if it would work with anything above
Vista) of Knipling (English), and I didn't get on with it. I found it a
chore when it should be a pleasure. It's been sitting in a cabinet for
over 7 years not being used and this seems a waste. I get on extremely
well with Lace 8.
