[lace] lace design packages for pc
Hello all, I have been demonstrating lace today in the Library in Chislehurst Kent (UK) and have helped lots of children to 'have a go' at torchon. We have a beginners pillow with a snake on it and even a couple of little girls of only 2 and a half and 3 years had a try - they did very well much to the surprise of the accompanying adults. Unfortunately the adults were reluctant to have a go, maybe next time. Whilst demonstrating my colleagues and I got into a conversation about which design package was best for a computer. I mentioned 'Coral draw' but was wondering what your ideas were, I know it's been discussed before but didn't really follow the thread. My friend is using Windows 98 and wondered which to try Thanks in anticipation to your suggestions Celia Mulhearn - in a sunny(for a change) SE London. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello Celia and everyone 'best' lace software design just depends on the user. There are several choices of hobby software just for lace design, the two in English have free demos to try. There are the computer-assisted drawing programs, and even the simpler drawing program such as Paint. There is some helpful information here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~falkink/lace/SoftKlos-EN.html and Jo also discusses Photoshop and Corel draw here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~falkink/lace/SoftAlg-EN.html Also if you can get into the mail archives for this list (I'm sorry I don't have the link - but someone 'here' will have it) and do a search for lace software, or Lace 2000, or Lace RX-P (did I get that right? name of new program) you will find previous discussion. Hope this helps ;) On Sat, Sep 13, 2008 at 10:09 AM, Celia Mulhearn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > Whilst demonstrating my colleagues and I got into a conversation about > which design package was best for a computer.

As Bev says, 'best' is whatever suits the user's needs, but industry standard (Mac and PC) is Adobe Illustrator. The other specialist lace design program, available for both platforms, is Knipling http://www.knipling.de/knipling/knipling-kn30en.html Photoshop isn't really a drawing program, just an image processor.
