"You'd think I might want to buy seed from Gurneys, Vermont Bean Seed, 
Totally Tomatoes, Select Seeds and Jung's, and sometimes I wish I could, 
but they are all essentially the same company now, part of the great 
consolidation, so I mostly avoid them. You can read more about this at 
<http://www.gardenwatchdog.com>www.gardenwatchdog.com "

I did not find the reference but did find this:
http://davesgarden.com/gwd/

My favorite was Gurney's but they are part of Garden's Alive:

Pinetree
http://davesgarden.com/gwd/c/2/

Miller:
http://davesgarden.com/gwd/c/429/

Vermont Bean:
http://davesgarden.com/gwd/c/98/
 is part of Jung Seed
http://davesgarden.com/gwd/c/106/

Seeds of Change are expensive but have a good selection.  They are owned by 
Mars Candy:

I went to the Baker Creek summer show last year and wanted to buy seeds.

Bountiful Gardens is one I have used before.  Every time I go to Palo Alto 
I go to the store Common Ground.

Bev, from what I gather about this rout-a-signer it's only going to make 
slanted letters. Without seeing the templates you have I can't verify that, 
but looking at the photos here it's clear the green templates dictate the 
lettering style, and the description says slanted lettering only. I have a 
friend who does trophies and engraving of plaques and such, and anyone doing 
such work with computerized equioment like my friend has, cut cut you some 
new templates in most any lettering style you want. (Or they have on their 
machine.)
