Tracing drawings and handwriting

[NicolaSummers82 (Nicola)]

Hi

Hoping someone may be able to help. I am trying to convert a child’s drawing and handwriting into lightburn so I can engrave a very simple room sign. I traced the image (first time using trace function) and now have un joined up lines (well circles). Can anyone tell me how I can either do one line (started to just draw over on the ‘no’ but taking a while)

or join them all up without having to change the imagery to weld? I hope this makes sense!

I would play around with trace and adjust settings to get a better trace.

Sorry to step in.
If you do as @Dskall said you get better results, that’s how I did it.
Then I ungrouped and cleaned up the unnecessary parts and made an offset of 0.5 to keep the shapes closed and be able to make a Fill.
I hope you understand.

Thankyou
