[lace] Lace design software
Hi, I wonder if one of you gentle spiders can help. I had a call from a fellow lacemaker from my local group today who has just bought herself a new laptop running Windows Vista and is looking for a lace design package to use on it. She called me to ask if I knew what was best. I was unable to help her as I use an Apple computer and use a general graphics package for my lace designing. She is looking for reviews to help her decide which is the best software for her. Any thoughts would be gratefully received. Many thanks Claire Kent, UK where it's getting a bit too muggy for my liking.

Re: [lace] Lace design software
Hello Claire and everyone Jo Falkink has a good comparison of the several software packages available here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~falkink/lace/SoftKlos-EN.html Also look around Jo's software pages, there are other options besides using the hobby software. (e.g. Corel Draw) I use Easy Lace. The update to Vista is available at the Easy Lace website. They are good about technical support, too. Others on this list use Lace XRP (?) - someone will correct me on that ;) and perhaps will comment. I've used Easy Lace for a long time, and like it very much. I tried the predecessor to Lace X... which was Lace 2000, when it came out some years ago, and I still preferred Easy Lace. Recently I did try the demo of Knipling, and it is very good for someone who knows computer assisted drawing - (not me though, sadly.) My free advice is to try the demo programs of any that are available, and make a decision to purchase after that.

[lace] On using lace design software
Bev wrote: Usually with the demo versions, you can't save a file - saving and printing give you a lot of other options that you can't test in the demo. What you can do is make a screen dump and print that to use to see if the your design will work. Hold down the 'Alt' key and pressing the 'Prt Sc' key (usually top right on the keyboard), open your word processing program and click on the 'paste' button on the toolbar. You can then click on the pasted image and make it bigger or smaller with the 'handles' around the edge, and/or crop it. This will only give you a small section of your design, it won't be to any partcular scale and the dots will probably be a horrendous size, but you'll be able to try out your design it so see if it works. Once you can see that the program works for you all the way, you're more likely to want to use it for a proper design and buy it.

Fw: [lace] on using lace design software
Thank you Bev and Jean, I have seen the demo but not tried to use it. I was bought Easy Lace by my husband but have not progressed very far. I think you are right, I need to decide on one or two things to try and keep playing and trying until I get the hang of the program. Thank you for all the lovely information and advice and I will definately work harder at learning how to use the program. Even if I just try to reproduce an existing pattern to begin with so I see how it works, after that maybe progress on to designs in my imagination, or variations of other patterns I like. I can't thank you enough. I'm afraid its not on the immediate weeks plan, but in the sometime soon slot, vbg Sue T Dorset UK Hi everyone While on the topic of lace design software - I thought I'd write down some ways that I use my particular program (and I'm certain that the other programs will do as much and more): - for scanning an old pricking to make a more 'true' pattern. The program doesn't do the true-ing; I draw a copy by sight, with the old one as a comparison, sometimes on top of the jpg of the old one, or beside the jpg, on the screen. - for copying a pattern from one of my books where I don't want to use a photocopier. I do this 'by eye' . It is handy if only a portion of the pattern is wanted, and a new repeat created, or I want to make a bookmark using the pattern repeat (or, I want to make an edging from the bookmark design!). Or, I want to change the size of the original pattern, such as to suit some threads I want to use. - for drawing a pattern from a picture. I scan the picture, and set the default to 'snap to none' then with the line tool, the cloth stitch tool, or the pindot tool draw on top of the picture where I think the threads should take their paths. - for inventing a pattern Note that a 'lace design program' doesn't teach lace design. I have fumbled along as best I can, and learned by experiment. A lacemaker I know intuitively understands Bedfordshire laces, and frequently designs them with her Easy Lace program. I love to 'make Beds.' but have only succeeded in inventing one Beds. design with my program. I haven't the faintest idea where to start to combine elements and work the trails so it looks properly Beds., and not like a guess. But I can whip up a point ground pattern or Torchon in jig time. Copying a pattern by eye from page to computer screen is a good way to start off understanding how a lace is structured, and also to figure out the capabilities of the program. If you are examining a design program for the first time, try every tool, every menu, then draw a standard edging pattern that tests drawing the footside, headside and ground. Some of the options won't mean anything until you find a use for them. There are a few in Easy Lace that I still don't use. Find out how you would make a fan, a leaf and a spider on your test pattern; how would you take a bit of it as a repeat, and 'repeat it' in a new window - how you would delete some of it, then see if you can go back through your changes to the first attempt (it is useful to be able to 'undo'). Then ideally see if you can make a lace from that pattern. Usually with the demo versions, you can't save a file - saving and printing give you a lot of other options that you can't test in the demo. So, in other words, fool around with the program until you can see how it might work for you. hope this helps Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com blogging lace at www.looonglace.blogspot.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this incoming message.

Re: [lace] on using lace design software
I have found that if I want to design something on Lace 2000, it is no use trying it out on graph paper first. Also patterns that I designed ages ago, I cannot get to 'work' onscreen. I just cannot transfer from graph paper to the screen - it always comes out totally different. Now I design either on graph paper or on screen. I am still working on it!

I've got both 'Lace 2000' and 'Knipling'. 'Lace 2000' is extremely easy to use, but I'd advise a tutorial - perhaps Ruth Budge in Australia could publish her intoductory lessons.

There's support available in most areas except the UK, where we have to rely on the good nature of Ruth to answer questions. I haven't found 'Knipling' so easy. I think there's more maths and setting up involved than in 'Lace 2000'. As I haven't fallen into it as easily as I did 'Lace 2000', I haven't done much with it. I'm sure other will sing the praise of 'Knipling' over 'Lace 2000'. I think the other one you found was probably 'Easylace', and I don't know anything about that except trying the demo of modules for cross stitch and lace several years ago.

RE: [lace] Lace design software
I stayed quiet when Ronna's email arrived, because I felt that anything I said on this subject would appear to be biased. However, now that others have spoken out, I will say this: Jean is right - Knipling isn't so easy for most people to master. EasyLace works in much the same way as Lace 2000 - however, it *is* an adaptation of a cross stitch programme, and the programmer hasn't had the assistance of a lacemaker to simplify the language used - so a lot of the functions such as adding pattern items (such as spiders, fans) to the motif library and reusing them is not as intuitive as Lace 2000. It doesn't sit so well on the screen, either. Some of the displays are very hard to see, and there isn't the option (which you do get in Lace 2000) to change background colours to make the display easier to see - although with the last upgrade, they have finally made it possible to change some of the drawing colours. I'm very familiar with Easy Lace - because I was approached last year to write a book for it in the same style as Click and Drag ... Snap to Grid (which is available in America through Lacy Susan). So I spent some weeks turning Easy lace inside out and upside down to find out what it did and how it worked. I also finally managed to acquire a copy of Knipling earlier this year, although I haven't had a lot of time to spend on it yet. I'm reasonably good with computers, and I'd have to say, out of the three, I still keep going back to Lace 2000. Ronna - think of the display screen as your graph paper - all those dots are the intersections of graph paper lines, ready set up for drawing Torchon. To put dots on the page, click on the dot button - now anywhere you click on the page, a dot will appear...its the same for most of the other drawing buttons. Fans are drawn as a line first, then converted to dots. I won't take up any more time on the list by going into details here, but if you need help, email me. I have nothing to gain whether Ronna (or anyone else for that matter) buys Lace 2000 or not - so please take my comments as personal opinion, rather than sales-speak.

Re: [lace] Lace design software
Hi everyone and Ruth, I think it's really good to have choices for lace software, and also really good to try the demo programs before a person invests in the program itself. LIke the many how-to books on bobbin lace, some people prefer one to another. It is also handy to have someone on the list, such as Ruth, who has checked out the programs inside out and backwards. Dorte has some a good precis of the software at her site, too. Interestingly, I have tried several times the Lace 2000 demo, and it doesn't work as well for me as Easy Lace. So - Easy Lace 2 is the version I have now, and I really like it. I've used Easy Lace since 1998. I think a lacemaker did help the programmer, at least at the beginning. There is a module for bobbin lace to go with the Easycross cross-stitch software, however I have the stand alone lace design program.

Re: [lace] Lace design software
I've had that problem a few times, and there doesn't seem to be any reason why one time the pricking prints correctly and the next it prints very large. My solution was to set my printer settings to print preview, which showed if it was going to print too large and I could cancel before it put ink to paper. I usually found that when I cancelled printing if it was going to be too large, and then asked it to print again, it came out the correct size that time. Annoyed the hell out of DH when we were sharing a computer that each time he tried to print something he got a print preview, now I've got an exclusive computer I'd think there was something wrong if I didn't get it. Also gives me a chance to change my mind if I've been a bit quick with the click.

Hi everyone I would like to thank Thijs van der Wolf from Bob-in of the Netherlands for solving my perplexing printing problem (try saying that little lot fast :) What it boiled down to was that I was not following the Lace2000 sequence for changing the printer settings while printing from Lace 2000 ALWAYS change your printer settings via FILE/PRINT SETUP *before* choosing to print via FILE/PRINT NEVER change your printer settings via FILE/PRINT or it will print way to big quote from Thijs email If you want to make a printout of your design and want to change the printer settings for that, e.g. colour or quality, you have to go to PRINTER SETTINGS before you give the command to print the design. Then go back into the Lace2000 screen and give the print command, choose colour and/or thread in Lace2000 and when you get the window from your printer ONLY modify the number of prints, but do NOT get into any other features that can be changed or IT WILL GO WRONG THE FIRST TIME. unquote Now I know the rules it will be simple and oh so easy.

It sometimes switches to printing huge dots for me - one to a page. In which case I save the file, close down Lace 2000 and open it afresh. Then it is back to normal.

On numerous occasions I have sought advice from Ruth Budge here in Australia who has been very patient and understanding but between us we have not been able to solve my problem. My case is that it will print perfectly one time and way too large the next. There does not seem to be a common denominator involved and I am wasting a large block of time and paper. The examples are available at www.brandis.com.au/craft/lace/lace20001.jpg and www.brandis.com.au/craft/lace/lace20002.jpg the lace 2000 file is also there at www.brandis.com.au/craft/lace/p82bible.lc6 If any of you can help me I would be very appreciative.

[lace] design software
I can't help but to react on some old messages, I stumbled on them in the archive. No affiliate on any, I only bought Knipling once and get free updates for exessive comments and sugestions on what could be done better in a next version. Ilske und Peter Thomsen Mon, 01 Sep 2003 But if you, like me design free pattern than you couldn't use Knipling or Easy-lace You might be right for Easy-Lace as well as for the French product listed on my web page http://www.xs4all.nl/~falkink/lace/SoftKlos-EN.html But Lace-2000 and Knipling do support free lace. They both can divide a line into dots. Knipling even has a command to draw the runner simultaneously with the dots in a free shape or tape/ribbon. Alison Addicks wrote on Fri, 02 Jan 2004 about Software Knipling 2.4 What are the reviews of the software package? Did you ever got an answer? A much more detailed update is prepared for the page listed above, but it might take e few weeks before it is online. I could mail you the page in advance. Jean Nathan Mon, 01 Sep 2003 I thought about 'Knipling' which, being continental, seems much more free in the patterns is can create than Easylace and Lace 2000. But then is it able to make a fan or put in roseground as well? What particularly appealed is the fact that (apparently) at the touch of a key you can convert the pricking into a technical drawing. Version 3 of knipling has special fucntions to draw various types of fans in one command. But I'm afraid you are expecting too much it converts a pricking into a technical drawing. You can decide to print only the layer(s) with dots and perhaps some other lines for the pricking, or print all layers or another set of layers at another scale for the working diagram. Thus you can store both drawings in one file and share the common part. But lace-2000 also has layers (even more I think). Knipling however can convert a runner drawn sharp from dot to dot, into a line that goes around the dots. But that is more elaborate than you seem to expect.

That's the problem with trying to decide whether or not to buy something from the creator's description. On the Knipling web page everything was made to sound so easy. In the end I decided on Lace 2000 because people had had difficulty getting a reply from Knipling. Also no-one on the list at that time offered any information on how they'd fared when using the program. I'm very happy with Lace 2000.

Re: [lace] Design software
And, those Lace 2000 users out there, do remember that I'm quite happy to help you with any problems you have with it...feel free to email me telling me what it is you've been trying to do, if possible, which buttons you clicked on and what happened. I've had a very high success rate so far!!! I've also discovered a natty programme in Windows XP - if you also happen to run Windows XP, we would be able to connect up if necessary so that I can see your screen and see what your problem isyesterday, I connected to my DH's computer, and from my own machine, I opened Lace 2000 and drew a pattern - all on his computer!!! (He only has the demonstration version on his computer, I must reassure you - not breaking any copyright laws!)

[lace] Looking to find Knipling lace design software
I've been trying to order a copy of the Knipling 2.4 from their website http://www.knipling.de/knipling/knipling-kn24en.html but have not received any response from my multiple attempts. I have also directly e-mailed the address mentioned on the site, with still no results. Does anyone have any information on how to reach this vendor or to order the software?
