I don't think changes can be made to the list. It's an old and simple system, and we are here because it is owned and was set up and is paid for by one individual, Liz Reynolds, to whom we are all extremely grateful. When changes, which can't happen, have been suggested in the past, groups such as

One simple thing I find very useful in Lace8, which I don't think is in earlier versions, is the ability to have a picture/photo on the page along with a pricking. The resize of a background image is also very much easier - instead of putting in measurements, you just drag handles. When I'm going

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

In the beginning April 1995, I joined in July of that year the list was set up to reply to all, and all of us were on dial up because I think broadband hadn't been invented. Some were being charged per second of download time, and probably still are - it is easy to forget. A fair number

Jean Nathan - regarding your "new" hex pillow - I get a thrill out of taking something a little past its prime and fixing it like new. It sounds like you got a nice treat from an old treasure. I wouldn't have thought of shaving the bumpy stuff down. I did put layers of wool over older pillows to

Happy New Year, Everyone! Yes, I have two resolutions, both lace-related! I have a badly botched piece of Binche on my pillow and I have resolved to retro-lace to the point where I departed from the diagram (not intentionally, of course. ). This process will take a long time, but I am determi

A lot of people probably know this, but I didn't, and I bet others don't either. For years my lace was away unless I got it out to work on it, then put it away until the next time. Now I keep it ready to go, on the stand, with the lamp on the pillow, a cover cloth over it, and in a place where
