The information is just a little bit out of date, I'm afraid. Lace RXP was replaced by Lace8 a year ago and Easy Lace went out of business about three years ago. Knipling is good for the more technically-minded, but a lot of folk seem to have trouble with it. If the user doesn't understand the "mathematical" approach to sizing patterns it can be difficult. Some of the drawing functions need an understanding of maths as well. As I've said to someone, Lace8 is the nearest thing to drawing patterns by hand....instead of graph paper, pencil and eraser, substitute computer screen, mouse and delete button! But of course, with all the computer extras such as copy and paste etc. I don't want to be seen as "advertising" which is why I've stayed quiet on this discussion - and I should point out that I cannot supply anyone out of Australia or New Zealand with copies of the programme anyway, due to licencing restrictions. If you decide Lace8 is for you, I don't benefit in any way!
