Spiders - this has made me think - how many of you who design use computer
programs and which do you use

I think I missed this email but I can answer that I use Lace 2000.  Most 
of my designs are pictorial in nature(tape or milanese), and so I tend 
to draw a sketch of what I want to make, scan it into the program and 
then use the different tools to draw over the sketch and convert the 
lines into dots.  It does make designing easier for someone who is 
terrible at drawing.  I am sure that the publications I submit to are 
happier to have a nice dotted pricking than the thick lines I use to 
send in with my designs.  I must say though that I have not made 
anything too complicated with the torchon or bucks grids but I am 
getting a dab hand at copying and pasting parts of my designs when I 
need a mirror image for the other half.  Making the pricking is 
certainly quicker these days.  I have done some prickings in less than 
10 minutes once satisfied with the design.  One happy customer.
