Pattern Maker and Viewer for Pattern Maker.

My version of Pattern Maker is quite old, and for the way I use it, I have no requirement to upgrade. However, the freebie Viewer for Pattern Maker has recently been upgraded, and I find it does a terrific job when it comes to printing out the pattern; much better than the version of Pattern Maker itself that I have. So for my latest pattern, I made it using Pattern Maker, and printed it out using Viewer for Pattern Maker. I prefer the sort of option that gives large symbols and lots of pages. The two things Viewer does that I like is to number the axes, and print 3 faint rows or columns extra at the edges of the pages. Sometimes I find it best to ignore these, but sometimes they are very useful indeed. So I have sort of updated Pattern Maker by downloading the latest version of the free Pattern Maker Viewer. HTH.

Hi there JIM :O))

That indeed is a fairly good solution dear ... that way you can stil enjoy a bit of the new options in PMP ;o))But I must state though that the full version is an absolute GEM to work with! There are an amazing kind of options added since the first version - and the work like clockwork. Besides that: there's a constant update on floss of all kinds ... aren't you scared you won't be able to match those at a certain time ??

(I didn't get the original post for some reason, sorry about the quoting excess and top posting)

this explains something - I didn't realize Jim's version was an older version as when I experimented with importing the other day (demo of both pro and standard) i saw that it was quite simple to specify floss/bead makers during the import.

hubby has given his 49% of the decision so when we upgrade my system in a month or so I'll put the extra $ into the pro version. I've got some grand and glorious (cough cough) designs in mind. Who knows how they'll actually turn out. I don't plan on "going pro" any time but i do like the added capabilities of the pro version. not sure it justifies the cost differential but ah well... hubby and I write niche software too so...

besides, I owned the very first version of PM ever sold... so it feels like the right thing to do. :)
