I probably don't understand what you're trying to do, but if what you're looking for are different fonts that you can trace to use as applique...why not use Microsoft Word (assuming you have the program) to type letters out and change the fonts? You can adjust the size to fit the project. You can also download free fonts that will work in Word.
If you don't have Word - Google Docs (which is a free online program) will do the same thing.

I have found some of my best patterns in very basic children's coloring books. The pictures, letters and numbers are usually a very basic shape and a good size. I trace them and find I do not have to make many changes at all to make them work. The cheaper and simpler book the better!

I just trace the letter onto Heat & Bond then press onto the back of the fabric then cut the letters out. Made this quilt for my best friend for Xmas.

when I made applique lettering I went to Joanns and got some stencils and traced around them if using an iron om method like wonder under be sure to turn the stencils upside down even lowes has stencils for house numbering all depending on the size you want

I found the book Fat Quarter Fonts at a yard sale Saturday! I made a sample letter block using a heart shape instead of a letter. The book has a cd in it for the letters. I like the method using two pieces of fabric and sewing around the shape. Very fast and easy to do. It looked great. I put a backing on it, quilted it and had a nice Valentine mug rug for my DD.
