Digitize with the Freehand Tool

Explore a more sketch-like approach to creating digitized shapes.

Put it into practice

Draw the same small motif twice and compare how many edits are needed to make each outline useful.

Keep a useful record

Save an editable working copy and label your experiment with its intended size and material. Compare the preview with a sample before repeating the setup on a finished item. Note what changed and what remained constant so the next attempt answers a specific question. A screen preview helps with planning, while the sewn result shows how the material behaves.
