problem with using my own image

Post by btsave »

I have a picture of a rifle that i am trying to cut out but it is not working well. Does anyone know if the weld will work on such an image? I have never used a forum before so i have no idea what i am doing sorry if i am not clear.

I'm more comfortable doing my work in Inkscape than SCAL. I traced, and cleaned up a couple of lines. I've attached an svg for your use. I hope this helps.

Still having problems with this. Let me start once more.
Here is what I would like to accomplish i want to take the rifle image and save it to my computer where Sure Cuts A Lot program can cut it out with my Cricut. When I try to import or paste the image, I cannot seem to bring it into SCAL...
What am I doing wrong?
I've asked my husband for help, as he knows computers, but he professes no understanding at all about SCAL!
HELP!

This tutorial may help you to get started. The image as a .jpg or a .gif can be 'traced' and made into an .svg or .scut file for cutting...OR, you can import the .svg which was made for you, above, and just import to cut.
My pictures and files are available for a limited time only.
