Many knitters have found that working with the Lace tool in Stitch Designer can be frustrating.

They find that the software gives lots of cryptic messages as you are designing.

DesignaKnit is very powerful and it applies knitting 'rules' to your designs based on your machine and basic machine knitting practices.

This course will help you understand the rules and have success creating lace.
