As someone who loves re-creating old lace, and yearns to design my own
lace, I've found this discussion both fascinating and beyond my reach!!

Hello All! Thank you Rebecca for posting the picasa link to Russian lace
dresses. Just drafting the patterns would be a challenge! Wouldn't it be
lovely if a Project Runway contestant could use some of those artisans for the
final competition during New York Fashion Week? H. And, if tho

Sad but true. There are too few lace making and/or designing people worldwide

using Macs. But fortun

Yuck! ... dont get me started :). First of all, it's not a native Mac
application - it's a Linux port that uses X11, so it doesn't even have a proper

It runs on windows too. I just mentioned it to explain why I did not try
wether "The Gimp" could do something. After buying one of the first versions

Hello Jo,
I also own Knipling - nice program but again in a different price category and
not very Mac-like (it only runs as a standard Unix program under X11). And I
think there's no development for it any more, so if it stops working in any OSX

Hi all,
Is/Are there any lacemakers from Southern Germany on this list?
I email with a lacemaker from the Munich area, and she told me that she does
not know of any other lacemakers or groups in the area.
All "offers" gratefully accepted.

For those that use a Mac and are still looking for an alternative to the
expensive Adobe Illustrator as a vector drawing program for your designs, I
might have found something. I for one would rather spend those 800 $ for
