Lovely Jean, the Siesta frame has worked well. Was it difficult to drill holes through the bars? I've only worked a couple of the butterflies from Kortelahti's book and found it quite a fiddle opening out the paper string. The square framed pictures are on my to do list one day. Eve London,

My short answer is - Lace 2000 will likely be more accessible to you. Knipling is a powerful program and you do have to buy the demo version from the publisher in Germany. As to use - I have tried both and L-2K was easier to use for me. If I was more familiar with CAD programs, then Knipling would

Robyn, Personally, I'd ignore the dots and fill the center with halfstitch. I don't think lines of pinchain are an appropriate filling for the disk of a sunflower--the tiny flowers of the disk are arranged in spirals. I think half-stitch would look good in there, even if it's not traditional
