Stroke vs outline vs fill in SVG: what each structure is, which machines and apps need which (plotters, Cricut, lasers, vinyl), and how to pick the right one.

Why does your cutter or plotter draw double lines? Usually the SVG is an outline trace or has duplicate paths. Learn to diagnose it and use single-line files.

Can't change the line width in your SVG? The lines are probably filled outlines, not strokes. Learn how to check any file and get line art you can adjust.
