I bought the program on Ebay a couple months ago. I originally bought it for
the Instant Stitch but having been using it more for the sweater program lately. I really like it. The only problem I've had is the PM Stitch Viewer which I assume is the PM Stitch Project Collection that is says on the box. There are supposed to be 1036 projects. When I tried it it says something is missing! Yet, when I've done a search, for let's say, a horse, I find one in the PM Stitch Viewer. I am interested to see what all it has but can't access it. Other than that once you play around with it it really is interesting. Good Luck, Shannon (Ontario) |

Instand Stitch Computer Program
I just got the 4 CD-ROM Delux Edition of Instant Stitch for the
computer. It claims to be the Ultimate resource for knitters, crocheters and stitchers. I really got it for my mother but ended up keeping it for myself when my husband pointed out that it includes a Sweater Design program that does schematics for machine knitters. Some of the other programs include a Personal Patterns for Children and an Organized Expressions program that lists yarms for 70 companies and is supposed to do conversions, calculations and keep a personal diary or projects. It also has a PM Stitch Creation 2.0 that looked rather neat so you can take a photo and make it into a needlework project. How fun! Now for the question. Does anyone have this set and does any of it really work all that great? Sometimes stuff loooks so much better than it really is. Joy |

Hi Joy
I do not have the 4-program CD you mention, but believe the sweater design software is called Knitware and I've just downloaded the demo for Skirts&Shawls (only) from the same author. I believe there is a Knitware group on Yahoo/egroups where the author will help you if you have problems once you purchase (I think you can upgrade to the latest version from the one in the kit if you so desire). In my case I've already left a question about printing out the manual instead of trying to read it off the computer screen. I'm not sure if it is something I can use yet, but others have spoken highly of it. I think mom may have lost out on this gift if she is a needlework person. grin Lorraine |

So she my conscience is eased somewhat. Besides, my dad hardly lets her have any time on the computer by the time he is done with his silly crosswords and art doodly programs. It is probably for the best.another grin Joy |

I have had the knitware since it was in DOS version, and love the program.
With this last update, we were able to get the skirts&shawls at a good price, so look forward to using that program again. just been busy with sewing and quilting, but am looking forward to getting back into hand or machine knitting again soon.
