    Seeking Gingko patterns

    Hi all, sorry to bother, I'm looking for Gingko leaf patterns...as nice as I can find them. A friend, who is a Naturopath, is looking for me to make her a sign.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Design question

    So I'm using Designer, and laying patterns. Is there any way to lay a ruler on the screen? The idea is that I have an item on a board, not centered with x or y axis. I want to put a pattern down...

    So I bought into Cutlist Plus

    Very cool program that had no problem applying a 1/2" virtual kerf and it measured out pretty perfectly. See pics below!
