I don't on a Mac, but I do own Knipling and Lace 2000/Lace R-XP. I've had a look at Jo's Bobbinwork. Have to say that I'm obviously among the less intelligent when to comes to computer programs. I get on fine with Lace 2000/Lace R-XP and have designed quite a few pieces with it, but, after a

I do have a Mac and I also have Knipling (the Mac version) but like Jean I just don't get on with it and it's gathering dust on a shelf. From time to time I've looked at Jo's Bobbinwork, and had a dabble with EazyDraw but again I don't get on with them. Lace 2000/Lace R-XP has never been
