vectorising is basically going into Coreldraw / Illustrator and drawing in all the lines, curves, and designating the lines a thickness and the fill in between certain encased lines / shapes with a colour. Then when you have these shapes you can layer them to replicate the finished work of art / design which in this case is your playfield design.

That's OK for a print file but not for a cutting file. You can designate a line width but when it comes to cutting all you get is a hairline in the centre. For a cutting file you have to hand draw both sides of the line

Illustrator allows you to outline a line/stroke path. ie Object/Path/Outline stroke.  The would give your cutting path along both sides of a designated line.... possibly?  Don't know if that would help in a cutting file procedure though .. as Im not ofay with this side of things.  FYI in anycase.

Im not familiar with Illustrator... all my vectoring is done with Corel

Ahh. Ok.
