[lace] Lace8
Hi All Lace8 is great - if you haven't upgraded and have a computer that is compatibly buy it now if only for the new print preveiw option. There are lots of other new features, some of which I like and some not so much but the print preview is wonderful. Gone are the days when you have to guess what size the pattern will come out, you can see it on the page and just know whether it's right or wrong. Anyone else upgraded, if so can you let us know which features you like best.

RE: [lace] Lace8
I have upgraded too. I also love the print preview and the fact you can put a picture on the design page and of course the fact you can save as a JPG file.

Re: [lace] Lace8
I also like the print preview, having multiple designs open at once, grouping items, bold lines on girds and drawing twists but I miss the preview file on opening; the zoom and centre button; all layers on / all layers off choice; and find it long-winded to do various other things which were faster in R-XP. It also has some irritating hiccups - if you try to change a layer it asks you twice over, and if you try to download a background on a locked layer it ties the mouse to the design area of the screen and you can't even close the programme. Beware of that one!! I would recommend you try the demo version before deciding to buy.

Re: [lace] Lace8
Has the re-do button been re-instated? I understand this was in the first version but is missing from R-XP. Annoying when you have drawn in a long trail and the lose the rhythm and go wrong. Hit undo instead of item select, delete. Those of you that use the programme will know that undo deletes the whole trail, whereas with item select, delete you can undo just the one wrong line.

Re: [lace] Sebalace Bobbin winder
Hi Susan and fellow Arachnids, I use a vacuum cleaner drive belt from an electrical goods shop. There is also a drive belt in some videos that fits. So a radio/TV repair shop might be able to help you. Take your winder to your friendly repair shop(s) to try. Mine was fascinated and quite willing to spend the time to get the right size that worked.

[lace] The Hollow Crown
Guys, Have any of you watched the new Shakespear trillogy opening play; Richard II. Yes I know it's machine lace but the gold lace in Ben Wishaws white tunic gown was mesmerising. The guy can recite shakespear beautifully but I kept tuning out to look at the pattern. I've googled but can't find a photo of it on the web.

Re: [lace] Lace8
No, that has been possible - back to .lc5 files anyway. I couldn't track down my .lc1 files to try out. They now get saved as .lc8, so you will need Lace8 to open any of the files saved as .lc8.

[lace] Lace8
One thing I've had a problem with is selecting items in designs which were done in R-XP. If I want to delete a dot, I can't do it by right clicking and I can't mark it with select item. I have to use Group select and then it will mark it. Same thing happens with other items from a Lace R-XP designs. What I like about it: the sliding zoom quicker way of changing widths and colours of elements rose ground element looking much better than the previous one being able to save as JPEGs and PDFs - I found EPS files were extremely large easier to set the offset from top and left margins for printing easier to temporarily remove the toolbar to see more of the design being able to have more than one design open and copy and paste between them the general look of the page Jean in Poole, Dorset, UK - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Wrinkle-free
The rich are different from you and me. Far be it from me to impune the coolness of the queen, fashionwise or body temperaturewise, but the kinds of clothing that people like her wear are very different. I once went to an exhibit of Jackie Kennedy's clothing. There was a wrap skirt. I recall wrap skirts which I wore, and they inevitably were blown by a gust of wind and left you totally exposed to your waist in public. So, I was interested to see that Jackie's wrap skirt, which never behaved that way, was actually draped around an armature of stiff crinoline such as milliners use. It was pretty much an artifice on a very firm inner structure. There is no way it could ever open. It must have cost thousands to make, not the $50 I paid for my wrap skirt. I think that couturiers may know a few things about how to make a garment that doesn't wrinkle, ie, interfacing, linings, etc. Devon in NJ - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

RE: [lace] Lace8
Jean, as you might imagine, that was one of the first things I tested. And I've just opened a couple of RXP files to try again, both of which work OK for me. I use the Item Select button all the time and don't have any trouble with selecting a particular dot with the Item Select button. I'm wondering if you'd email me (privately, of course) a file which is causing you this problem so that I can have a look at it and see if I can work out why you're having difficulties. Yes, I miss the right-click to delete a dot. However, the right-click is now taken up with editing functions to save playing hunt the button on toolbars all around the screen. It wasn't possible to do both, although you can select a dot (or a line or whatever) and then right-click on the screen, then left-click on Delete. Someone mentioned the missing File Preview - the old system was only possible because of the way RXP saved all files inside the RXP folder - which is not a particularly popular place to save files with lots of people. The new programme has a different filing system, and all patterns are now saved in a special folder created on installation within the My Documents folder. We haven't had much success yet at making a file preview system compatible with the new filing system. Windows 7 offers the preview, but only for programmes the Windows programmers know about - and Lace8 is not on their list.
