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 ;)
