Hi Jenny and everyone

You might be ok with the pricking as it is - I have found the computer
drafts are so perfect as to lack character so you might just want to
work with it as it is. I'm thinking it is the ground areas that are
looking wobbly? If it's the headside, too, then it would pay to
redraft - but not sure if you want to invest in software and its
learning curve just for the one project.
If it is just the ground dots that look problematic, have a go at 'no
pins' in that space. Take the catchpin at the footside as your start
point, eyeball the destination point at the headside and work
diagonally to it. Your one weaver pair will start at the catchpin and
end at the next available headside pin. IIRC it is Pam Nottingham who
says to use that as a test that you've made all the ground stitches
correctly. Tug on that weaver pair and there should be a line of
tension back to the catchpin. From another point of view if the
pricking in the magazine is distorted from the printing process, then
you'll have to redraft. Or - getting back to if it's ground that looks
'off' - draw light lines diagonally over the pindots, and follow the
lines rather than the precise dots.
This isn't answering your question. I can say that my choice of lace
design software, Easy Lace, doesn't do the truing for you ;)
