first thoughts on software

well, I downloaded demos of 4 packages. Thus far, PatternMaker Pro (and
even the standard version) have the others beat.

I can't imagine a cross-stitch package that costs as much as XS Studio
costs, without having a quarter-stitch capability. Am I the only stitcher
who uses quarter stitches in their designs?

PM Pro excells over the standard by having the capability to do freehand
selection, a tool I also would have considered should be standard. That
it's not standard in *any* of these packages is disappointing. But I will
probably save up for the Pro package if the next 3 days of evaluation go as
well as day one did.

but it is just one day - long-term use might reveal other issues. Stitch
Simplicity didn't want to let me zoom in on a pattern. grrr..

usual disclaimers. my opinion, no association,etc.
