Use Freehand Cutwork Line 
to draw a line to be cut using cutwork needles. Create two or four needle lines automatically, with secure points and stabilizing lines according to the settings in Cutwork options.
Draw a line, then release the mouse button to finish the line. The line is closed automatically to form a shape. Move the nodes to adjust the line. Click Delete to remove the last-placed point. Right-click to place the line on the work area.
If the desired line is not achieved when created initially, either redo the line or select and move the nodes as desired.
