Hi Keogge - you made a good move choosing Xara Xtreme.

I use it for all vinyl sign art and embroidery. Its a case of placing your original image as a background layer, and then in subsequent layers hand trace using the available tools. Xara is the quickest to have when drawing like this.

I don't have any reference to a tutorial handy but maybe another member will kindly post something shortly.
