It's time consuming, but so is building a kayak or a teardrop. How many times are you going to do it, though? It's worth the effort for the single time you'll go through the process. Once you put the image in a graphics program and let the program trace it you can simplify it a little bit, then if you add additional cut lines that connect areas of the design where there is waste so that the areas of waste you have to remove are smaller (like around the lettering) it makes the process a lot easier. If you put it on right away the transfer sheet holds everything well. If you wait to put it on the vinyl will stick to the transfer sheet a lot harder, and that makes it hard to apply when you have a lot of detail.
