As with other digitizing tools, freehand tools can be used in conjunction with all available stitch types. With these tools, however, you draw objects directly on screen. It is thus possible to produce artistic effects similar to free-motion machine embroidery or ‘thread painting’.
Click and drag Freehand Open Shape to create free-flowing lines. Most line stitch types are available.
Click and drag Freehand Closed Shape to create closed shapes. Most fill stitch types are available.
To erase a portion of a line, press and hold the Shift key while dragging backward over the line. Alternatively, press Backspace to delete control points.
Release the mouse to finish. Or press Esc to cancel input of the object.
