I'm looking for printable letter patterns that would be
suitable for cutting out on a scroll saw. Is there someplace
online where these could be purchased or downloaded?
I'm also looking for a "light" spray on adhesive that I can use
to stick patterns to wood with. I've used 3M 77 in the past, but
removing the paper after adhering it to the wood is nearly impossible.
Something with the holding power of Post-It note glue would be perfect.
Ideas?
Thanks all!

Yeah. All you gotta do is look. I can't adjust print sizes, so
use a photo-copy machine, to up-size, or down-size.
I'm also looking for a "light" spray on adhesive that I can use to stick
patterns to wood with. <snip>
I use thinned Titebond II, glue the paper down, let it dry, cut out
the pattern, and paint it, paper and all. No prob.
My way is a lot less expensive, a lot less fiddley, and works
great.

Someplace like JoAnne's Fabrics would likely carry that. Thanks!
Use the fonts in your computer, or get something like Paintshop Pro.
Lots of styles to choose from.

Use the fonts in your computer, or get something like Paintshop Pro. I use
the Corel Graphics Suite because I have it.

I pick a font that I like in MS Word and enlarge it as much as possible...I
then take it to the copy store and enlarge to my heart's content...

I've had better success with double sided carpet tape then the MMM 77...that
3M stuff has a bad solvent and it seems to just go all over the place..

Way to go! Do you have a sewing machine? One of your very own? My Dad
did, a super old black Singer factory machine, made canvas boat covers for
boats he'd made.

And you could leave your wives standing around in the (rain, sun, sleet,
snow please pick one) while YOU go putter around in a fabric shop for a
change!

Three, I think.

There's no front opening, so it's a good woodturning shirt.

I have nearly as much baled fabric in my house as I have stacked
timber. They're both mine!

I'd like 11 yards of Sanderson's Morris Willow bough in blue,
please, Andy. I have an A&C couch to make. Thanks! ;)

I picked up a Universal sewing machine (just like the old #15
Singers) for $5 a couple years ago and have made samples of
my laptop glare guards on it. It handles 2 layers of 420-Denier
nylon, foam, glue, a strip of velcro hook, and 2 layers of
naugahyde binding without even flinching. Harbor Fright has brand
new industrial machines for $249.
BTW, that t-shirt glue is called repositionable (or remount, or
low-tack) adhesive. I tried it on the glard guards early on and
found I needed a much heavier, high-temp grip.

3M super 77 dissolves easily if you spray on naptha. Patterns just
fall off after a coat of this stuff. Paint thinner works too, but
takes too long to dry out.

I have a box of a dozen cans of this stuff, Not often useful, but it's
perfect for this.
It's an aerosol glue made for T shirt printing. It holds the T shirts
in place while they're being screen printed. Try some sort of fabric
shop.
