Hmmmm. I haven’t done anything in textile designing so no idea. As you have explained it makes perfect sense how going digital is a blessing.
In general I just feel that availablilty of digital tools hampers the creativity for many of us, if not for all.
I hear you.
I think maybe because we forgot our skills or people don't have to learn them so much anymore.
😬
I know my drawing and painting abilities have declined/been forgotten since I started to create digitally. So I'd agree with you, yes.
