The lettering baseline determines its shape. You can place lettering on a straight horizontal or vertical baseline, curve lettering around a circle or arc baseline, or digitize your own. Different reference points are needed depending on the baseline you use. Baselines use default settings to determine their size, spacing and angles. Hatch Embroidery gives you interactive control over many baseline settings. Techniques are available to modify baseline type, length, radius and angle, as well as baseline position. Change lettering orientations of selected lettering objects at any stage.
