single lines on jpeg imports...

Hi All
Basically my first post here, so please be gentle with me.
I wish to import a jpeg into Vcarve Pro 9. OK, in comes the jpeg, I use the Trace Bitmap tool, play with the sliders until I'm happy and then apply. Image comes in.. a little more tweaking.
Now to the "issue" if I can call it that. The vectors have appeared on both sides of a line, as if that line had a thickness. So when machined the tool cuts both sides....
Original jpeg with 3 lines.
Same lines but the tool path will machine both sides.
How can I get the imported lines to only be one pass of the tool?
My apologies if I haven't explained it very well....
Thanks in advance for your time, help and suggestions..
