Open Inkscape

  • 1. File/Document Properties/Custom size (adjust size to bed. Be careful with units)
  • 2.a. File / Open… (If it is not a .svg file)


      2b. Path/ Trace Bitmap:
      2c. Select “Colours”, live preview and reduce the Scans.

  • 3.a Select object and Edit


      3.b. Remove Fill and under “Stroke paint” select “flat colour”. You might want to check that you have just one single line, getting rid of additional lines is another story ;)
