I'd add to Ruth's recommendation - go to the Ilsoft website and download the demo version of Lace8 - I'm sure it's complete except for printing and saving, but Ruth can confirm this - and try before you buy.
The features are listed on: http://crafts.ilsoft.co.uk/pages/Lace8.aspx and the download is on: http://crafts.ilsoft.co.uk/pages/Downloads.aspx I have no connection with Ilsoft, but really like their lace design program and have upgraded as each new edition came out. I'm currently using Lace8 on Windows 8.1 - a big jump from my almost-dead Windows XP system.
