Baselines4.pngFree Line Vertical baselines are straight, vertical baselines. They do not have a fixed length, and extend to fit the letters you enter. Line spacing is calculated horizontally while letter spacing is calculated vertically. Letters, by default, are centered along vertical lines. New lines are placed by default from left to right. Vertical baselines are effective for embroidering on sleeves, as a decorative effect, and for Asian text.

Tip  Vertical lettering best suited to uppercase for Western languages because descenders in lowercase letters are not accommodated in the letter spacing.
