how to add paths to a pre designed picture

Asked by cat hinds

what is the best way to add a path to a picture so that i can cut specific parts out on vinyl using my vinyl cutter, i apologise if this does not make sense I'm new to this whole thing and have a idea of what i want to achieve but no idea how to do it.
p.s the design was not created on inkscape and i have just imported it from another source

Hi cat,

you'll want to learn how to use the path drawing functionalities of Inkscape, e.g. Pen/Bézier tool, Pencil/Freehand tool, and node tool.

Please refer to the tutorials (e.g. http://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php) or the manuals (http://write.flossmanuals.net/inkscape/about-inkscape/, http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/) to learn more.

When you hit a block, don't hesitate to come back and ask (here or at http://inkscapeforum.com).

Kind Regards,
 Maren
