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!
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.. Larry
Someplace like JoAnne's Fabrics would likely carry that. Thanks!
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.
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!

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

Use the fonts in your computer, or get something like Paintshop Pro.
Lots of styles to choose from.

Three, I think.
Made one of these a few weeks ago, a Belgian Military Chef's Jacket
Cool Beans!
I know the feeling.

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.

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 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.
JOAT I smile because I know my God loves me. You on the other hand, he doesn't much like.
