  • You don't need from. Using out implies the motion involved. "Step out of (the) line and come forward." Use forward as this indicates motion.

I think "step out from" is better, and you need to say "come to the front," not "come front," which is not grammatical (at least in American English).

"Step out of your line" could also work fine and is perfectly comprehensible; I just don't like the way it recalls the idiomatic expression "step out of line," which means "to break the rules" or "act inappropriately":
