How to convert images to a workable file?

So just getting my table assembled, I found a picture I would really like to cut and would like to know what steps are needed to get it converted. hope to get through the break in and test run tonight!

i’d appreciate some tips to get started. https://imgur.com/a/Jdt8dIe

Download Inkscape, do a bitmap trace and save as a dxf. Import it into F360 and toolpath it.

He’ll have to do some node manipulation too. Some of those lines are going to result in some thin remains (like the top where the eagle & stripes merge for example). I’d also add some line cuts to the interior to either cut out (stars) or define (eagle) the different parts of it being careful not to drop out the whole thing.

What is a bit map trace?

I used this link to learn how to convert a image file to a SVG file in Inkscape:
