Review from About.com giving a 4 out of 5 rating
"The Royal School of Needlework program is a terrific designing program that allows the designer a great range of flexibility. The historical needlework information and stitching technique info is a great plus. This program gets 4 out of 5 stitches on my review scale, mainly because of the undo feature. I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in designing patterns or learning more about needlework techniques."
