Designing Lace with DAK
Don't be frustrated with the Lace Tool in DAK!
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.
For example, as machine knitters, we can't put 2 eyelets side by side. DAK will stop you and remind you that this is a no-no.
In addition Brother/ KnitKing and Silver/Singer machines work differently. One uses a single lace carriage the other uses 2 carriages. If you try to design a stitch pattern or sequence of symbols that are inappropriate for your machine, DAK will let you know!
