There is a way to contour cut with out a machine that has built in eye and soft wear , but it's all about getting things perfectly lined up, and That takes a lot of time, and a lot of practice to get it right, I did it for a while and got good results about 50% of the time, the rest of the time the contour cut was to far off to sell the sticker. Get a cutter that has an electric eye it will come with soft wear that will allow you to cut stickers.
