Greek letter templates?

I've been up and down the internet and I cannot find good greek letter templates. I wanted to try my hand at making my own shirt, does anybody know where I could find them?

I used Microsoft Word! Try font size 660 and Insert > Symbols to find your Greek letters. Print them and trace onto a piece of cardboard or something that you can cut (say, with an exacto-knife) to use as a stencil for your fabric. This way you can play around with different fonts to see what you like! I've found Cambria to be a good block letter font.

The symbols have only one font on my Microsoft word, and I'm looking for those layered patterns?

^ Hmm. I guess I would recommend going to your campus library and seeing if their computers have a newer version of Microsoft Word. I don't really know what to tell you! If by "layered patters" you mean the two-layered letters, you can make two stencils, one being a bit larger than the other, for the background letters. Or, you can buy iron-on letters (can probably found if you google "(GLO) gear") and use those to trace smaller/larger ones on your desired fabric to make shirts.

Sorry if I'm missing your vision completely haha

also if you want to make a few t-shirts and have no patience for exact-o knifeing, you can try a product like www.ezscreenprint.com where you can print out your image and make a photo stencil

not sure what you want in a layered pattern though?

You mean the letters with the satin behind them? Make two copies of each letter in Symbol, one a bit bigger than the other. All of my stitched letters have the satin "double" letter as a background.
