Freehand Emboss Line

Use Freehand Emboss Line  to draw a line to emboss on an area of stitching. To move the points in the line after drawing, place the pointer over a node. The Move Node pointer appears. Move the node as desired.

To change a round (curved line) point to a square (straight line) point, hold down the Shift key and click the point while moving it.

 

Each line you place, as ended by a right-click, is treated separately by Undo.
