The Freehand tools can be used with Satin line and the Calligraphy setting to create truly calligraphic freehand effects. Generally you will use this setting with Freehand Open Shape but it can also be applied to Freehand Closed Shape with Outline stitching selected.

The possibilities offered by these options for creative, artistic expression are limitless. Especially when used with stylus pen tablets. You can even use these settings to create embroidered calligraphy.
