You will see the pixels and how the lines are various shades of gray rather than all dark. You need to start with a higher res image...try to increase the size of the image before the screenshot. If you have a better image, you won't have any problems tracing in SCAL or Inkscape if you change the trace settings. A trace will trace both sides of each line though. Fine for paper piecings, but not if you want just the shape.

That is all you should see with a trace like this. If you get a good enough image, you might want to try the paint bucket tool to fill the shape and avoid double lines if you aren't going to make a paper piecing.
