Hello lacefriends, In my opinion one can use every fine design-Software you have or belong to your PC. I visited a class where the teacher used Coral-Draw, I was handicaped it was for Windows and I am a Apple-user. But I managed it but I got the impression that it is to much work. If you are a teacher and needed dozens of copies than it is perhaps worth. I find it easier to use grids when you will do something with laces who have one. But if you, like me design free pattern than you couldn't use Knipling or Easy-lace. Than you need a professional design-programm and/or a painting board.
