I only used it once to plan my living room, and it mostly worked fine.

It is actually quite good
But the free version's limited in many ways.

Ok, so Inkscape looks pretty good in general
I like how easily it lets you change the position of certain points on a vector, and adjusts the shape of curves to match it. You can easily add and subtract points from the path, and mess about with them and smooth things. It appears to have lots of preset shapes too, but I don't really care about those. Let's you save as lots of different file types too.

All in all, fair powerful, and free, so definitely worth using.

ok that sounds really good
the smoothing thing is important as all the pieces need to flow in a curve when sewn together so It would be good if it adjusted the curve as you moved the width.

Thanks a lot for this, it's really helpful and if it works it could cut an hour out of my 6 hour creation time.

I'll have more of a play with it and see what happens if I put two parts together then mess with dimensions
